Default Screamin' Eagle Performance Tires
Has anyone run the Screamin' Eagle Performance Tires on their sportster? How did you like them? How was the mileage?

Thank you.

Never new there was such an animal. Used to run the Harley Dunlops then switched to Metzeler cuz they seemed to mellow out the grooves on the freeway. Good Luck.

Same here on not knowing they existed......And Nope, to 3Rrds question on the squirrelly Venoms in the rain. That's what I'm running right now. I'm wondering if the SE tires aren't just Dunlops with SE design on the sidewall & slightly different tread pattern.

Although there are good reviews on the Dunlop E3's for the BT's, they don't fit Sporties. I'm done with Dunlop's and their poor mileage and handling, I'm staying with Metzler 880's for much better mileage and better handling.

I asked the dealer about these after seeing them on their web site. These are the tires they put on the Screaming Eagle bikes. They are supposed to be a softer and stickier tire than the stock Dunlops.

The parts guy (who I trust) said they are comparable to the Metz 880s. The reason I am looking at these is, my local dealer is having a 25% off sale on Harley parts making these $234.00.

I guess I'll give them a try.

I'd stay away from anything that says Screamin Beagle on it, get a set of Pirelli Night Dragons or something alone that line.
