Getting close to a front tire change. My choices are

Metz ME880 about 90 bucks
Avon Cobra, about 115
Avon Venom, ~130.00 It must steer itself!

06 FXST Softail Std.

Leaning towards the ME880

So what do you say? No need to suggest any other tires. I get about 6K out of the Dunlop 21" (402 I believe) & would like a change. The Dunlop 200 rear will stay as I have a backup I got from a closing HD dealer for 90 bucks.

 

Fixin to buy one for the WG. Next one will be the Avon 120-21. A little more meat on the ground.

 

metz on the way you`ll get different opions on this just make your own mine

 

I think either way you'll see a better handling tire with the aftermarket rather than buying a stock replacement (dunny).

I just swapped out my front 21" dunny for a me880. I haven't ridden it yet to give an opinion. I'm sure it'll be better than the dunlop. It was a bit worn and was handling like crap the last time I rode.

 

My buddy has a MH90 Cobra & loves it. I'm hearing & reading about putting on a 90/90 instead. The MH90 is the same as a 80/90. I have some time too decide but it always good to get by with a little help from my friends

 

I'm running a 90/90 Metzler ME880 and love it.

 

Any clearance problems?

 

I'm pretty impressed with my Avon.

 

Just found that Dunlop makes the Elite 3 in a 90/90.
Another option if it will fit with the stock front fender. And then there is the d408f mh90-21. Too many options.

Running 120x21 cobra right now. Sticky as can be, but I am not expecting a ton of miles out of them. They handle light years better than the stockers, but I will prob try 880's next tire change, just to say I tried them. As gay as it sounds, the cobras look a little "crotchrockety" to me. The ME880 looks pretty cool to me.
