Default Need new tires for 2007 Fat Boy

I used Dunlop American elite tires on my Heritage last time. Since they have been discontinued whats a tire with good traction that's also has longer tread wear? Esp looking for a longer lasting 200 rear tire. What have you all been running on your Fat Boys? Thxs, HMT

I put a set of Shinko 777 Tires on my bike at the beginning of the season. I have about 1600 miles on them this season and so far I'm happy with them. They grip well in turns and show very little tread wear. Did some research on them and riders on different forums and on this site thought they were good so I went with them. They were super reasonable even with my local Indy mounting them. Metzlers were on before these but were cupping on the back tire. They were 7 years old so expected.
Don't know if your particular about the brand or not. They also make a 200. Of course no matter the topic there always will be haters.
