Metzeler 880's, because I like the sticky compound. I'm not real concerned with mileage, I want something soft, sticky and SAFE.

I ride too aggressively to be cutting corners with a tire that is harder just to squeeze out a few more miles out of it.

To each his own, though.

Dunlop American Elite's. So far so good. They seem to hold the road pretty good. Only have about 400 miles on them, so can't really tell yet.

Report back, my understanding is these are basically a reworked E3 for the Harleys.

Had Metzlers on my 2007 flstf and liked those. Wonder how they would run as a next tire, on my 2011 RKC?
