Default Which Tires

Hey Guys
I tried a search on tire replacement for my 2006 FLHTCUI EGC but there is so much info to sift through, so I got lazy and have gone the easy route.
A) Do I have to stay with the HD tyre from the HD dealer.
B) If not what choices do I have brandwise.
C) I would like wide white wall tires if possible.
D) I have used Maxxis Tires on metric tourers in the past and found them OK.
E) I am looking for advise on which tire to use ( higher milage is important to me ).
F) I would prefer not to hand over anymore $ to the dealer if possible ( I havent had the best experience with dealers so far )

Thanks inadvance
GlennsGlide

You want to eliminate the Dunlop shimmy? Get Metzeler 880's for much improved ride/handling.

The Metzeler 880 Whitewalls are the best. Hands down. All my buddies and I have switched to them, and it is an unbelievable difference.

They don't call them "DunCrap" for nothing! Metzeler, Michelin, Avon are all better than stockD-lops. D-lops get the uneven wear patterns, they stick average to dry pavement and below average on wet.
