METZLER IS PROBABLY THE BEST TIRE AVAILABLE BUT THEY ARE NOT NORMALY STOCKED AT HD DEALERSHIPS WHICH IS WHY I STAY WITH DUNLOPS. i WOULD USE THE DEALER FOR REPLACING TIRES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY BALANCED.

If you change to Metzelers, you will hate Dunlops forever. Just be aware of that fact before you make the jump. [8D]

I can vouch for ME 880's , love them. I've had 3 sets of dunlops , never liked them , 3 sets of Metzelers , all great , and on my 2nd set of Avon Venoms on my WG which are similar to the Metzelers.
