I was wondering what your opinion is of 16" wheels with OEM Dunlops verses 18" with Metzelers. I can imagine the handling would be better but what about ride? Do the Metzelers have better traction wet/dry?
Thanks for the opinions. I am new to this forum. I am planning on buying a Street Glide and want to put the best wheel tire combo on it. I ride a Road King now.
I hate Dunlop..I almost crashed my bike once after having a week in a parking lot from the front end sliding out on me and I wasn't even going fast.. [:@] Hate Dunlop as far as sportbike tires also.
