If buying American means anything, Dunlops are made right here in Tonawanda NY. I believe Metzelers are made in Germany.

Yup ME880 has been the best tire by far for me.

I'm about to change out my stock Dunlop rear tire, and guess what I'm gonna throw on....yep, a Metzler ME880. The Metzler tire seems to hold the road much better than Dunlop.

Got metzlers on my Fatboy. Nice tires wat better than the lops. Gonna try Avons on my RG when I wear out the stockers. Metzlers are manufactured in Brazil and Germany.
