Default Tires

Does anyone have any expereinces with the new Michelin tires for Harleys? It's time to replace mine and I'm thinking about what brand to get. I did a search on tires several different ways and came up empty.

There were several threads on this with several different people trying them. I am interested in these tires as well. I will need at least a new rear in a few weeks.

If they would ever get the search function fixed we would be able to access all of that great info!

I have just refitted my wheels earlier today with another set of Avon Venoms. They do me just fine!

I found a local indy, who's putting on Dunlop Elite III's on my RG...Metzler, Avon, are both great tires and I've had good results with mileage, and grip... ( gotta LOVE grip) Talked to a buncha GoldWing riders, and they all had the E3, and raved about how better they were than the metz, and they really liked the metz

I'll post a review next week end after I scuff them in....
