New guy needs help
Today I bought a 2007 FLHTCU - Ultra Classic - Only has 7,000 miles on it - the rear tire is about due to be replaced - I know tire questions are about as bad as an oil question - I have had good luck with Metzeler's in the past - Is this a good choice for Ultra? Should I stick with OEM size? I ride solo - I want wide whites so I'm going to replace front & back at the same time - thanks for any help - tom
Welcome, If your not dead set on wide whites you may want to consider the Dunlop Elite 3's. I ran Avon's WW on my Y2K and really liked them.

Avons or Metzlers are my choice. I usually get Metzlers because they cost a little less and my indie always has the Metzlers in stock. Metzlers handle great, Avons even better.
In my opinion, Dunlops suck.

I just replaced both tires on an 05 FLHRSi that I bought and went with Dunlop E3's. Was going to go with Metzlers until I read and heard that they don't handle worth a **** in cold weather. That's just my 2 cents worth....
