i have a 2007 flhtcu , agressive all weather rider. ride two up majority of time,asking members to throw thier .02 in .i have run dunlop 402 and had good luck. also run dunlop american elite, ill pass. michellen commander 2. thats on back now . both front and back to be replaced. looking for good grip ,longevity. let me know what you run and why. no right or wrong here. thanx in advance.

 

I have had good experience with Bridgestone Battlecruise H50. 15k rear and 20k front. Good in rain and dry.

These days it depends on what is available. Good luck finding tires in your size.

 

Man, I've been running AEs on my '08 FLHT for most of its life. Tried these, tried those, keep coming back. Because they work for me. I don't really ride all that aggressively, but I HAVE been known to step it up on occasion. .And yes, I ride year round,too.

 

i have located the bridgestone battle cruise h50 in my size . looking hard at them

 

I always run the Dunlops.

 

I've run Metzler 888 for years. They hold up well, ride smooth, and have good wet traction. I have a front waiting to go on, but can't find the rear. I have one on back order.

 

I have the H50's on my bike, Got them for a good price and also got a $50 visa card for buying a pair of them.
They handle, ride and wear like a Commander2 but are waaay better in the wet.

 

If your rear is a 180/55 18 they are very hard to find in any brand at this time. Am always checking sources so as to have one on hand when my rear needs replacing.

 

I've run American Elites and Metzeller 888s for years on my RK and pleased with both. I like to think I am an aggressive rider through the twisties and ride in the wet on the twisties a lot. Both those tires seem to do well at it. And last well too.
I run the 888s on my Ironhead Sportster and it is quick through the twisties, which surprises a lot of other riders.

 

I have an 07 Bagger. Got fed up with the lousy tread life on the 402's, switched to American Elites, very pleased
