Didja buy the '03 new? What tire pressure are ya runnin', an' how often do ya check pressure? If ah'm readin' yer post right, yer sayin' ya've gone through TWO sets of rears in 11.3k?!?? That's hard to imagine - ah've got 5800 on mah '07 UC right now, an' that rear Dunlop is still lookin' fine.

 

I dropped the scoot off to get some metzlers put on, now I'm worried, the website for metzler says these are the tires that will fit:

Front: 130/90B-16M/C 67H ME 880
Rear: 140/90B16M/C Reintfl 77H ME 880

here is the problem, the front tire load rating is only 677 lbs, thats 105 lbs less than Dunlops front tire (783lbs), I don't want to loose the load, is there a metzler that will work up front with a 77H rating (908lbs)??

PS, since my bike is in the shop, anybody have the maximum vehicle weight for a 2000 FLHTCI?

 

I wouldn't worry about it. If you get over 677 lbson the front tire you got big problems.

 

I spose your right, we aren't that big...

 

I can't wait for my Dulops to wear out so i can put on the Metzlers.

 

I went through an OEM dunlop in 5000 miles on a 07 heritage, it now belongs to someone else with a new Me 880 on it that rode far better than the dunllop. and no I do not do burn outs, When the dunlop wears out on the new street glide it will be getting a metz ME880

 

No smokey burnouts here. I am the original owner for my 03 flhti. The bike is a 95" Screaming eagle stage one that i had dealer installed. I check pressure weekly and keep it at 36 front and 36-40 rear depending on riding one or two up. I guess I am just not luckly with the dunlops.

Just put a set of ME 880's on mine got about 2000 on them and they are far superior to the Dunlops on handling, will see how they hold up on mileage. Run B-50 F-46

 

is everyone switching out both tires at the same time or are you mixing dunlops and metz's until the front goes
