Smitty901 my first choice was to go with Metzelers but after reading about the Brazilian controversy (880 POOR QUALITY) I may go back to DUNLOPS.
I like the Dunlops as they are easy to buy in my area , but my problem is that I find the Dunlop tire compound too hard , has poor traction in the rain and has poor tracking on the road , especially with those tar scars. I also have an Ultra that I ride one up only , but as I weight 250 lbs , I am concerned about the load factor of the tire.
Does anyone know if Dunlop offers a premium (NON RADIAL) tire that overcomes these issues. I have visited the Dunlop site and brain went into overload.
Any help would be appreciated.

Metzelers are good tires I just do not beleave that for STREET use they are the best choise. If I were going to a road race track on my fatboy I would consider a set.
Dunlaps give great traction and hadeling in all weather. Plus the best milage od wear. And the wear difference in a lot from waht I have seen.
