Which tires should I buy this time?
Time for tires soon. I have always run OEM tires. I like Dunlops OK, but some guys run Metzler. Never tried them. I hear Michelin makes tires now for Harleys. I run Michelins on my trucks and really like them. What are your thoughts?[/align]

RE: Which tires should I buy this time?
Metzeler makes a good tire- used to run them on my metrics and they are top of the line. I like the Dunlops Harley uses, but I've noticed they whine when cornering at speed and they're all over the place on grooved pavement, bridge gratings, etc.
Haven't decided what I'll get when replacement time comes around, but Metzeler will definitely be in the running...

RE: Which tires should I buy this time?
I now run Metzlers, I like them a lot. I hear they work better in the rain, I have not noticed that yet, I take it easy in the rain. But they are far superior in the grooved pavement and the grating on bridges, that alone makes it worth it to me.
