sorry couldn't resist lol - because the search feature here SUCKS, go to Google and do a search with the words new tires hdforums (or something similar) - you will come up with a chit ton of threads on this.

In one word "Metzeler".

We like Metzelers but I recently put the Michelin Com II's on my Dyna and really dig them too. The Com II's only come in certain sizes but have rocked my world. I can;t run them on my softail as I run WWW and they don't make them. Tires are like women, everyone likes something different.
