RE: Tires
I just replaced my dunlops with the metzler 880's. I have about 400 miles on them, imo the greatly improve the overall ride of the bike. The big thing that I noticed is they don't seem to be affected by grooves in the road or steel studded bridges as much as the dunlops were.

RE: Tires
Stay with the 402 Dunlop. Only tire with the loadcapacity rating recommended by HD for the baggers.

RE: Tires
The only tires I put on my Electra Glides are D402 Police Versions. I get slightly better mileage with these as opposed to the standard D402 and I can usually find them discounted somewhat.
The only real negative comment on these....the Police versions are just a little more difficult to install. I believe them to be a safer tire as well.
The Avon's are fine tires as well. Many years ago, it was all Avon though

RE: Tires
I can't tell anyone what the best tire is but I do know that a Dunlop will hold up pretty good with a flat.
Middle of no where, tire shot to he11.......
Never came off the rim. Must have some pretty good sidewalls on them.
Yea, I do carry a patch kit and compressor now.
