Default new tires pics

Wanted to replace the ganster white walls. So I went with the Metzeler me880. got in about an 80 mile ride yesterday and love the way it rides and handles. Just put new dunlops on the Heritage and should have done the me880,s on it also

Wow, that completely changes the personality of your bike! Amazing how the white walls v. black walls will transform the look.

Good to hear you like the ride of the Metz's, but I certainly liked the looks of the gansta's on your bike and I'm not a whitewall guy.[] Just me though.

Another firm lover of the ME880..
went from the stock lops and will not go back,
better grip on damp/wet roads and better ride too

Do the Metz's come in a wide white wall? I really like the look of the wide white myself.

I'll bet it falls into corners like it was meant to now. I recently changed to the metzlers too. I will never go back...

Redhog95......Thanks for the information, I agree that keeping them clean is a pain, but my whole bike has a real nostalgic feel to it the way I accessorized it so I really want to stay with the Wides and just deal with the pain for my vanity I guess.
