Just don't go w/the Brazilian Metzlers..
They had a tread separation issue a few years back.
I'm sure that has been corected though?
The German Metzlers never did though..
Interesting huh?
Latest update from HD dealer says expecting March 2nd (4th update/delay) then about a week to get them through Drag Specialities and into the dealership. I just might have it before the roads dry up in MN and be ready to ride but I'm not holding my breath.
I did hear something about the Brazil made Metzlers having some quality problems. Hoping they are over that by now.
So, what do you guys recommend as a replacement for a wide white on a 2008 Road King Classic, assuming I can't get the Metzler? Not too impressed with the OEM Dunlops. What else ya got?
Ok, just been informed that the size I need is MU85B-16 which is the same as 140/85/16 which is guess what - on back order! About ready to give up on Metzler due to availability.
