I have an '08 FLHX, and I'm just about ready to perform my 15k service. Some of you may not beilieve this and some may... I still have my stock rear tire on, but it's ready to be replaced. I put an 18' wheel and tire on the front about 7k miles ago, and went with an Avon. I wanted a Metzeler, but my size was out of stock for longer than I wanted to wait. I've heard stories about Avons, but mine is holding up nicely. I've ALWAYS taken good care of all my bikes, trucks and cars, and do all the work myself. Needless to say, I also take good care of their tires too. NEVER do burnouts, always check the pressure, etc.
Now my question is... I want a decent replacement, but I want the best price too. Where do I look? What have you guys had good luck with? Do I stay with the stock tire or look into another brand? Give me all the info you got.
I know there's a lot of threads about this, but the tire industry experiences new technology and a lot of changes often and rapidly.
Thanks in advance!
