Re: Metzler Tires

I think you'll find that with almost any subject when it comes to Harleys that you will see a divided opinion on just about everything. Some like a certain product and some don't.

Ask a question about oil and you'll see what I mean

I replaced Dunlops with Metzler 880's on a lighter cruiser ( 1100 Vstar) and couldn't beleive the improvement, better riding, better cornering, much more confidence in the curves. I plan to replace the tires on both my Sportster and Heritage with Metzlers.
