It's all detailed on the Metzeler tire website............good info on all makes and models, with and w/out passengers. I just bought a set of ME880s for my Heritage.............can't wait !! I read they are really good/different compared to Dunlops

Thanks . for the info.
Now i have to go back into the Metzler web site and see where i'm missing that info . I was on there a couple times , even looked in the fitment chart as recommended . Probably just can't see the forest cause the trees are in the way ...................
thanks again
