Default Best tires

I am looking for good tires, been using the Dunlops and not happy with the miles I get out of them. I want to try the Metzelers, heard & read good things. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Have you tried the dunlop E3. You will have to go to there site and compare measurements to your tires you have now. There has been a lot of good reports for them.

I wasn't impressed about the mileage on the stock dunlops HD uses. I'm sure there are threads on the Metz and yes they are a dependable tire. Take a look at the Avon's also. Know alot of guys that use these with no issues
