Howdy, ALL....
I have a 2011 FLHRC...bought used in 2014 with 7664 miles. I have 46K (approximate) miles on it now (7/20/2017). That's a total of 38,336+/-. I have replaced the tires with Dunlap American Elite's twice. I decided to switch to Metzeler 888 Ultra Marathons just to see if there is a difference.

I have been pleased with Dunlaps and the wear has been uniform and ride smooth.

The question i pose to you all is: Did I make a grave mistake? I read the reviews and the lowest rating has been 3.5 out of 5 stars.

 

If you already made the change then run with it

llll


,lmk i need tires and im on fence about those,report back plz

 

I switched from Michelin Commander IIs to Metzeler 888s last fall. So far I'm happy with them.

 

cool, thanks, thats a good, positive start

 

Happy camper here on the 888's.......feel good......mileage looks to be good.

 

local indie Harley mechanic has seen too many Metzeler rear tires with the tread separating/peeling for me to ever want to put them on my bike.

 

I've been running 880's then 888's for a long time. Never a problem with them, really good handling, and good mileage. But I have gotten only 4K out of a rear on a built up bike and me aggressive on the throttle. YMMV.

 

I have them on my bike and like them. They handle well on the road.

 

wow, I never heard of them separating, could of been a bad tire ordered off the INTERNET, thats why I would never order tires from internet, but can anyone compare the handling of the 880's to the newer 888's?
