Default RE: New tires?

I replaced the Dunlops with Metzler ME880. Just replaced the first Metzler rear tire after 15,000 miles. The front is still good to go. I like the handling and wet road traction of the Metzler much better than the Dunlops.

That site cHarley posted has pretty good prices.

The 2 that I have used when ordering tires were:

www.motorcycleproshop.com

www.motorcyclesuperstore.com

Both times I ordered the prices were similar, but they were offering free shipping. Always check the price to your door.

+ 1 for the Metzler's. Got them last season and was very happy with the piece of mind and better performing tire.
