Best price on Metzelers?
« on: November 02, 2010, 11:07:26 AM »
Need to get a new 150/18 rear tire for Big Red and hope there is a decent
place(with great price) out there for a Metzeler.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Hey,

FYI, I ran Metzlers on my Road Glide and I loved them.  A good friend of mine ran them on his Ultra and liked the way they handled but he wasn't happy with the longevity of the tire.  He has about 40,000 miles on an 2007 and he often rides two up so this could be the reason.  He switched to Michellens and he just bought his second set that he will throw on the off season.  He rants about the ride and handling of the tire, and apparently since he is on his 2nd set, he's ok with the wear factor.

Thanks for the great scoop on the tires.  This rear only lasted 7k miles.  It is a 160/60-18 and I am hoping that going to the 150 will get me a couple thousand more miles on the tire.  That would be nice.

I see you are from Ann Arbor, my wife grew up in Saline.

   Check out motorcycle superstore..... motorcyclesuperstore.com  I bought a rear Metzler for my 01 FLTRSE, great price and no tax or shipping.  Think the tire was $117- total, prices around here are at least $25- more.
