Just wondering if anyone out there uses something besides the OEM tires after they wear.

CLKKELLEY:
DO A SEARCH!!

Dunlop Elite 3

Metzeler 880

Avon

etc. etc. etc.!!

USE THOSE SEARCH OPTIONS, NEWBIES!!! :) :) :) :) :)

UltraPolecat:
Hey tommyo,

That is a lengthy subject and everyone has an opinion.  Do a search but be prepared to read a lot and learn a little.  I use the Dunlops and like them a lot, others like a few others.  I don't think there is a wrong answer.

And we all were newbies once, be NOT ashamed and WELCOME!!! 8-)

I have run Dunlops and Metzlers and Avons on other bikes. Dunlops good all around, Metzlers and Avons better handlers on the twisties, because of softer compound - thus wear much quicker. Dunlop tends to be the best in the rain I'd say, but that is subjective - as is all of this info. That is my point, none of the three blows the rest away on these "cruiser" bikes. On a canyon carving Hayabusa - different story, but thats not what were talkin about. Got a bud runnin Kenda's now - half the price of Dunlops and so far so good. My main point is there all pretty good, yet you will read reviews by joe rider swearing by one over the other. Remember, if he came off Metzlers and tried Avons and they were WAAAYYY better - remember the Metzlers were worn - the Avons new - as is the case in many of these Joe Rider reviews - not a fair comparison. Just get a good deal on your choice (including balancing) - break them in safely - then enjoy !
