flhtcu tyre choice
hi all, first post on this site having owned harleys since the age of 27. i am interested in tyre choices for my 2007 flhtcu. currently on d204 dunlops. most riding is two up, fully loaded touring europe so some highish temperatures but
also lots of rain. slow speed on current tyres is crap, tracking also is very noticeable. suggestions and experiences please, metzelers look good but how about avons?? any contributions greatly appreciated. all the best, rod.

Welcome aboard. You'll get plenty of opinions regarding tires. I've always went with Avons. Venoms on the dyna and will put Cobras on the RG in the spring.

Welcome 
If you haven't discovered it already there is a "search this forum" function on the top right hand side of the screen. There have been a lot of threads on this that might also give you some ideas. Its a keyword search, but try tires instead of tires...you might get more hits from us Yanks

Hello old chap and welcome to HDF from just down the road. Drove through Bicester only this afternoon!
Avons. They have recently introduced Cobras to replace the Venoms I have used for many years. We've been to Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and many others, sometimes in the most appalling weather. British tyres for riding our American bikes around Europe. They are the only way to travel!
