#1009 daglassguy (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 82 Re:What Tires To Buy? 7 Years, 7 Months ago   I just bought mine from the motorcycleproshop.com. They had the best prices of everyone that I checked. I had ordered a tire from them last year and liked the way they handled everything also.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011 dmuniz66 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Re:What Tires To Buy? 7 Years, 7 Months ago   I was recommended the Metzeler ME880   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1075 daglassguy (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 82 Re:What Tires To Buy? 7 Years, 6 Months ago   Just got mine from the motorcycle pro shop. Ordered online and received in about 7 days. I mounted my own tires. You just have to remember to look for the yellow dots on new tires and aline with valve stem. Went with 160 rear and had to order new tube. Total price including shiping was around 252.00.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #11403 benson48 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:What Tires To Buy? 5 Years, 6 Months ago   just a note for those of you who like wide whites check out maxxis i admit i was a little bit on the leary side in the beginning but am on my second set and have had good luck over 12k per set and i change in favor of no flats could go longer but dont press my luck some rides over 700 miles a day in az heat they have held up really good . jb   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #15146 IMTopGun1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1959 Re:What Tires To Buy? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   GRAM wrote: I have been running Metzler's ME880 series for quite a while now. I think they come WWW too, but I run the solid blacks. They improve the handling in a real nice way. I noticed a very nice difference on both bikes, one of which still had good tread on it. The bike just seemed lighter somehow. It was like riding a smaller and more manuverable bike. GRAM I just installed the WWW Metzelers and love them. My mechanic highly recommended them and hasn't steered me wrong yet. Those factory tires didn't last 7,000 miles before turning into 'maypops' and I attribute a very large part on my post-Thanksgiving laydown on them (combined with a slick painted crosswalk). Thank God I was only doing about 20mph ... and for 'engine guards' and saddlebags which took the brunt of the damage. Now I feel much more secure riding the streets of Manhattan with the Metzelers under me. (It's just too cold right now.)   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #15152 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:What Tires To Buy? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   You're a brave man if you ride two wheels in Manhattan. I play bumper cars with the cabs in a car, can't imagine on a bike.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #15156 beefcake2play (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 286 Re:What Tires To Buy? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   All in all guys....if you are going to replace your rear tire, at least do one hell of a burn show while someone is taking a picture of you doing it. I did that last August. I still need to post that picture. But when I was at a local bar, almost the whole bar came out to watch.....everybody loves a good burn out. here is that picture.

That's what's more dangerous than the drivers ... anti-freeze and oil slicks!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #15170 beefcake2play (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 286 Re:What Tires To Buy? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Heres a picture of that burnout...hopefully I'm doing this right.   Logged     2008 Harley Crossbones.

Looks alright to me. With the HP/TP you have I imagine it wasn't hard to get that back wheel to spin. Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access.
