Just acquired a new Rear Metz ME880 200/55 r17.
Thought it would work great sine I have a "07" FXSTB Night Train (OEM Dunlop 200/55 r17).
Looking at Metzlers website, they recommend a 210/50 17.

Are there going to be any issues if I put this Metzler on my bike?

 

No problems!! I have that tire on my 06 Standard fits perfectly.

 

Stock size is 200/55 r17 but the 210/50 fits too.
I've ran them both and prefer the 200/55.

 

I have 5700 miles on my 2011 fatboy and my tire is a 200/55/17 and its already down to 2/32 tread.. Can anybody tell me how many miles they are getting out of the stock harley tire this size ?

 

What kind of mileage do you expect to get out of the metzlers

 

I've got about 6k on mine and it's still got pretty good tread. I definitely ride pretty hard and can't say I haven't spun the tire a time or two.

 

i got 5k on the stock dunlop rear and 8700 on the fronbothe oem skins.
i had 4700 on metz 210/50/17 XXL but that son-a-ma-gun stuck to the ground let me tell Ya !!!!with the proper weight transfer on turns/curves/Ss..." loved it"
