I think I've been through every available tire option for the softails with the 200 tire on the back. I ride 2 up a lot although 45 or more miles a day 5 days a week are solo. I don't ride a lot of city miles. most my miles are country roads and freeway.
Stock Dunlop 200/55/17 got about 9500 miles.
Avon Cobra 200/55/17 got about the same.
Metzler 880 210/50/17 was on about a month and a half and got about 3000 miles :shock and I just took it off today to have my new stock D407 dunlop mounted and balanced while I'm at work tomorrow, because I'm afraid to ride it anymore it looks like it's gonna come apart in the middle.
Here's some photos for anyone thinking about spending the extra dough on a Metzler.
By the my local dealers where $199.45 + Tax for the Dunlop. I ordered mine from Latus HD out of Portland Oregon, It took 2 days to get here to Spokane, Washington and the total cost was $155.50. $154.00 for the tire and $1.50 for handling. They have free shipping on orders over $149.00
