Been using Metzler's on all my bikes. The only tire that I have found that takes the pucker factor out of riding.

I just installed this tire, it looks good and in the past I have had excellent experiences with Metzeler products, however they are expensive, I guess you get what you pay for.

Metzler ME880 Marathon tires are the only tires I'll ride on after experiencing Dunlop and others. Avon Venom tires are great if you don't mind short tread life. Dunlop tires are just awful all around! Conti's are a nice ride, but leave a bit to be desired in handling and life span. These ME880's last longer than any others and ride/handle just awesome! They should be Harley stock tires, but never will because they're not American made!

Tires look and mounted great. No problems so far. They are solid tires and can take a good pothole jolt. They are not as confidence inspiring as a radial (which i am used to) but are sticky enough for a bias tire. Time will tell about the tread life.

Hi there, I was sent an email inviting me to review this product so here we go, I run Metzler on all 3 of my Harley's. As soon as the Dunlop's wear out on go the Metzler's. I could not be more pleased, I get the longest life out of their tires. I got 18,000 miles on my touring bike. I know this is not the most detailed review, there just isn't anything more to say, I love them. Safe, practical, cost efficient!!!

I have been using these on my Harleys for over 10 years now. I started using them because they had a good reputation for mileage. My stock rears were getting between 8 and 10 thousand miles but these Metzlers run between 12 and 15 thousand. I also noticed crispier handling and better wet traction. One drawback, in 1st or 2nd gear in a high lean tight turn, do not wick the throttle very hard. At approx 75% my road king will break loose.
