tires for the deuce
Well that time I need to break down and get tires. Bike is an 07 deuce.
What brand/model is everyone running?
I want to go 180 on the rear but will probably hold out on this time. Or am I better off going 180?
Have read thst the harley dunlop 180 will fit with no spacers. Is this correct? Or am I gettng into another ordeal on that.
Have no issues with the 160 on it now. Handles good. So dunlop avon metz..... what brand r u guys running and how is handling compared to stock tires

So have it narrowed down to the michelin commander 2... or the metz 880.
80/90 or mh90 front.... which is the same can a 90/90 front fit? Guessing its a bit wider?
For the rear stock is a 160/70... is the 170/60 same height? Will it fit with no spacers?

Other tire to consider
I put a Shinko Raven 170/60 on the rear of mine. (also a Shinko is on the front) They have been excellent tires and a heckuva' lot cheaper to buy. I love the way the Raven handles rolling into the curves. Very smooth.
I know it doesn't follow the popular Metzler/Dunlop/Avon mindset but I am very happy.

This tire shopping is driving me crazy. So here are my final choices
Metz 880s- mh90 Front, with either a 160/70 or a 170/60 rear
Avon Cobra- 80/90 front with a 160/70 or 170/60 rear but Storm 2 rear tire..
or really kinda liking the michelin commander 2s, in stock size. never beena michelin fan in the auto world... but not a bad looking bike tire
