Re: Tire POLL
I've had the best luck with Metzlers over the years, but the last one I bought was made in Germany instead of Brazil and my tire guy had a hard time getting it balanced. I'm not sure what the deal with that is but for know it seems to ride fine.
Oh I guess I should add, I have used Dunlop, Pirelli, Continetal, Bridgstone, Avon, And Metzler Last edited by wildspirit97; May 16th, 2009 at 03:51 PM. Reason: Added info. |

Re: Tire POLL
I'm running Metzlers since that's what was on it when I bought it. My buddy recommends them highly. I replaced the front this year and will most likely need a new rear next year.

Re: Tire POLL
Bought a used Sporty a few years back. It never really felt that good at hi-way speeds. Rear tire wore down and needed replacement. Gave the Metzler 880 a try. The bike handled like a dream with it. Been using 'em ever since with out a complaint.

Re: Tire POLL
Run Metzlers front and rear on my Sporty...liked them from previous running on all my Metric bikes since the early 80's...after the OEM Bridgestones and Dunlops wore out...! Main reasons: for best wear, performance, mileage and value...and always carry in wheel/tire to have mounted and balanced to save money over the long haul.
