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.

Drove 1hr to a tire dealer that sold AVON tires, was told 4X's in a 2 hr period that someone will help me.

No one did and told management where to go. (They had good prices)

Drove 1 hr back with no tires ....

Went to the local HD dealer and bought Metzelers
