Ordered front and rear 880 for my Honda VTXR 1300 and had them in about 3 days. I have ran them for about 500 miles all on dry pavement. Ran on good mountain road with nice curves and they do handle better then the Dunlops that came with the bike. They do not seem to track grooves in the highway as much as the Dunlop. They ride fine, hope I get better life then I did with the Dunlop.

I have blown through the stock tires and then several of the "preferred" tires and was very disappointed in the very low mileage I got from all of the other brands. At one point a dunlop only gave me a little over 4,000 miles. These tires have given me up to 11,000 miles and I still had tread but thought it was time to replace them. Metzeler is the brand for me.

Riding the vtx 1800f, you need all of the above traction, cornering and stability. These tires seem to have it all, great price and availability.

I love these tires! This is my second set. I put 30k on my first set!! I'm trying out the new ME888 on the rear (they didn't have my front size). Great in the rain, great in the heat, tread live is awesome! I took a trip from Indiana to Santa Fe New Mexico and experienced snow, hail, desert and mountains. These tires held up great! I recommend these tires to everyone I talk to.

Been running Metzeler's on my Kawi VN900C for 5 years. Great handling, superior wear. Just replaced front MH90-21 with 21000 miles. Use Metzeler, recommended tire pressure.

I haven't had these very long, but I immediately noticed a marked improvement in the stability and cornering and dry traction compared to my old dunlops. Since I haven't had any rainy days nor have I owned them long enough to determine wear and tear, I gave them a medium score on those points.

Since putting these tires on, my bike handles better. The ride is like night and day, I would never go back to Dunlop tires again. I am very happy with my Metzler purchase.

Only tires I will run on my Electra. Far as I can see they outrun and outlast just about any other tire out there. All I have run on my bike and probably only tire I will ever run.

Purchased these tires for my wing 2 years ago and with only 2200 miles there is severe cupping. Pulled the bike out from winter storage and found the entire sidewall is split on both sides of the front tire. Not at all pleased at this point!
