Bob Hall Deltona,  FL The Best I own 4 street motorcycles and have been riding for over 40 years. Metzeler tires are simply the best I have ever worn out. Mileage is better, wet handling is superb. My only complaint is that Metzeler has chosen to stop manufacturing the size for the front tire on my Kawasaki Mean Streak.

Norval Wallen Baton Rouge,  LA ME 880 Review Only getting about 5.5 - 6.5 K miles on the rear tire. I'm a Paw Paw and I ride like one. Other than that the tire is perfect.

John Jacksonville,  FL Great Fit for my 96' Suzuki Savage Good looking, great handling tire in both dry and wet conditions. Tracks true over pavement cracks; tight and wide cornering feels secure at all speeds. Tread wear barely noticeable after 2000 miles. Definitely worth the extra cost.

Ruby Rider The Dalles,  OR I can't see Ruby wearing anything better I ride approximately 16000 miles a year. Ruby has 47000 miles on her. The rear tire she has on her now was put on at 33000 miles. This is not the first nor will it be the last Metzeler ME 880's she wears.

Hassan Chula Vista,  CA AWESOME I replaced my stock Dunlop front tire a few months ago with a Metzeler and was so impressed with the performance and I couldn't wait until my rear tire was due for replacement. The first thing I noticed was the cornering, I left the shop and when I turned onto the freeway I thought I was going to lay the bike on its side because I was use to applying more pressure going into turns and the Metzeler tires require much less. I replaced the rear tire on 10/30/09 and only have 100 miles on the rear tire but I can already feel the difference. Metzeler has earned a lifelong customer.
