Gonna let them do it 2 Years, 2 Months ago

Let the dealer put my new tires on that is. $384.00 for two metzlers mounted. I met the mechanic today and he's a nice older gentlemen who rides a roadliner and been a wrench for over two decades. He put me at ease so next Tuesday we will see what happens. God knows the horror stories we've all heard!  |

A veteran twenty year mechanic can still make the mistake of a rookie 2 week mechanic. Look over his work and realy put your mind at ease.

I would watch the Metzlers closely! Also get your tire man to agree upfront to handle any warranty issues that hopefully will not arrive.
I have had to replace two sets of 880 white walls for cracking sidewalls on the 1st set and a bulge in the sidewall of the second set in less then 14 months...I have now gone back to Dunlop.
My Metzlers were made in Brazil.
Good luck

I am on my fourth set of 880s (actually two fronts and 4 rears) and the only issue I have is that I cant seem to get more than 8,000 miles out of a rear tire. It may have something to do with my tendency to accelerate quickly, but I am not in any way abusive--no burnouts or anything close to that. They do handle and corner well.

My dealer is a pretty good, stand up guy. If I have a problem with the tires or anything else I know for a fact he will take care of it! I can't say enough good things about him and his shop!

Got them put on today. It snowed big time tuesday but it's mostly melted now. It was 44deg. when I took it for a 25 mi test ride. I like them, felt weird having traction under me again.  They were made in Brazil!  |
