Doug Braselton,  GA ME 880 I put a set on my Victory Vegas replacing the stock Dunlops front and rear. The Dunlop Elite III front was a great tire but the D417 rear left a little to be desired under hard acceleration out of a corner, and wet conditions were a definite thrill ride. Although I haven't had the Metzlers on a wet road yet, I did put a couple hundred miles on them in the dry and so far I am entirely pleased with their performance. I have run an old FLH full dresser Harley pretty hard down the mountain on a pair of these last summer on a damp road without a hiccup, so I feel confident they will perform as well on my Victory. I am running the 90/90/21 bias front and 180/55/ZR18 rear radial. Not sure of the tread life. I ran the Dunlops 8,100 miles and feel they would have run longer had I resisted the urge to make smoke a time or two.

John Jacksonville,  FL Great Match! Based on the outstanding reviews, I replaced the OEMs on my low mileage 96' Suzuki Savage with a set of Metzler ME 880s Marathon Touring tires. The combination has allowed me to ride this small cruiser like a sport bike! Superb handling and cornering, with excellent traction on both dry and wet pavement. Tracks true over grooves and other uneven surfaces. Little evidence of tread wear after 2000 miles. Definitely worth the extra cost.

JEFF COLUMBIA,  SC Second set of Metzeler tires This is the second set to the Metzeler tires that I have had on my 2006 Street Glide. Getting about 13000 miles on them. They handle well and corners very well. Would highly recommend them to everyone. And the price is quite low through Motorcycle Superstore.

Bruce E. White SR. Nashville,  AR Metzeler-ME 880 Marathon Touring Front Tire This is a great tire. I ride a Honda 1800 VTX-C and I use Metzeler tires on the front and back. My bike handles a lot better compared to the original Dunlop brand.

Charlie Enterprise,  MS Great Tires I replaced my Dunlops with a set of Metzelers on my third set of tires for my Harley SuperGlide... the Metzelers are by far the better tires... they corner better, they ride better and they don't follow the grooves on the road surface like the Dunlops did. Truly an amazing difference.

Jason Bismarck,  ND Great Tire Much better than the factory Dunlop on my 2006 Victory Jackpot. I rated Wet and Tread Life a 5 however I haven't had the tire long enough to say any number but "unknown" isn't an option.
