tire question for newer bikes

glimmerman

bought a new ultra and just read the info on dunlop tires going flat. replaced the dunlops w/ metzlers on the old r/k. does anyone make a replacement that is the same size as the new dunlops that won't affect the abs on the new bikes? where can i find a spec sheet for other manuf. tires that will get me close to the oem tires. there doesn't seem to be anything close out there w/o replacing wheel sizes to get to the proper height. thanks.

You can run any brand tire you like however becareful what you read into the internet
Metzlers has had far more calls tha dunlop

thanks. i was looking at the page here about the lawsuits on dunlops going flat. metzlers seemed to give a better ride but then all new tires do give a better ride right away. had 16k on the dunlops, have 16k + on the metzlers and still looking good. just wait and see what i get out of these.

tire choice wont affect the ABS, for me i prefer Avons but struggle to get the correct sizes for my Bob which has a tendancy to destroy rear tires
