Thought about tires
Just a thought about tires, do you think the center groove in dunlops help keep the bike from weaving and being squirally.
I put on metzler 880's 3k ago and the bike is all over. They are made in brazil. I feel and hear tar snakes like never before.

RE: Thought about tires
Although I always use Dunlops, lots of my riding buddies use Metzs and say they are great on rain grooves and tar snakes. It is one of the main reasons some folks seem to opt for them. Go figure!

RE: Thought about tires

Come to think of it the new Mich's have a center line also.

RE: Thought about tires
I'll say this, the newer Dunlops seem to track better than they did a couple of years ago. The MU series is a bit longer lasting too, I think.
Maybe I'm just gettin' used to the dance but I'm pretty confident in Dunlops even over the grating that goes for miles on the way to Key West.

RE: Thought about tires
if you read this forum, do a search you'll find the vast majority have found the ME880's to track much better than the dunlops. perhaps you have a different issue with your bike you should look into? steering head? rear tire out of line? are your pressures in spec?
