Talking Won a Metzeler
So I took the scoot down to the stealer and entered the sportster competition (show) and won 1st place, a Metzeler Rear.

I'm trading it in for a WWW and I'll buy the front. I've been itching to get some WWWs.

It'll be a Metzeler. I was on the site looking but couldn't see a WWW. The rep said they'll be in next week.

Congrats, you'll love the Metzeler ME880's compared to the POS Dunlop 401's.

I'm relieved to hear that, I've read some bad reviews (mostly good reviews) a lot seems to depend on running the correct pressure or it can run off uneven.

Like many other tire brands, the Metz run higher pressures than the OEM Dunflop 401s.

For the Metz on a Sporty:
Rear - 40 psi
Front - 38 psi
