Mike Chionchio West Mifflin,  PA Metzeler=ME 880 Touring So far I like the tire I only have about 1,800.miles on it for the last month with very little rain driving so I can't really comment on wet traction or tire life time will tell.

Tony Veatch Dyersburg,  TN Replacing OEM tires Replaced the OEM tires on my VTX 1300 with the Metzeler-ME 880's. The difference is amazing. It's like owning a new motorcycle again. There will always be Metzelers on my bikes.

Paula Scorpio West Palm Beach,  FL Driving through extremely wet weather....Tropical Storm Fay We drove thru Ga & Tn with extremely heavy rains from Tropical Storm Fay. The rain was relentless for two days of riding and the tires stuck like glue. At one point, a trailer passed me and a 4 foot wave went over me and the bike and the tires still tracked, I could actually feel the traction against the pavement. I have had these tires previously and love them. The tires last about 9-10k miles.

Blacktop Minneapolis,  MN Metzeler ME 800, front These were purchased for about $250, and seem to be a good deal considering their overall quality, grip, and ride. I can't give 5's because I do not push these tires near their limit and cannot assess their performance in that manner. I don't ride much in the rain so I cannot assess that quality either. Overall these have been very stable, safe tires for my Honda Shadow after 1000 miles or so. Good meaty tread as well. We shall see how long they last though.

ernie timbs cleveland,  OH metzeler-me880 touring front tire Haven’t had the tires that long but find that at around 80 mph they feel a little less stable than the original tires that came on the bike.

TW South Ga,  GA I THINK THESE ARE BETTER I bought this to replace the original Dunlop’s (404s) on my 06 Vulcan 900 Classic Lt. This Metzler does feel like it grips the road a little better than the Dunlop’s. It tracks well in the rain. I haven't felt a need to "pucker" since I got them put on, if that means anything to you. I got 14000+ out of the Dunlop’s so it's obvious that I don’t push the bike hard, and I guess maybe a "high performance" tire isn't really needed by me, but I will say it does give you a little more confidence when you need it and that's a plus on a bike. Only time will tell on the mileage, I’m sure I won’t hurt em. Good price AND performance, I do believe I will buy these again.

bruce g loretto,  TN metzler me 880 front and rear tire I bought the metzler last year for the rear of my Victory Jackpot. Loved it. So I ordered another for the front and one for the back. Improvement over the stock dunlop. But the rear tread didn't last very long. Only about 6800 miles. My riding style may have influenced that.
