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.

Dave Springville,  TN Metzeler -ME880 I put a rear Metzeler 880 on my Vulcan 1500, liked it so well I replaced the front before it was needed. This is a huge improvement over the factory Bridgestone’s. The ride is great, as is traction and no tire noise. I gave it a three on tread life as it is too soon to tell.

Tim Venetia,  PA Metzeler Tire not for the Honda ST1300 I recently purchased this tire as a replacement front tire for my 2006 Honda ST1300. I immediately noticed a constant "howling" sound from the front tire. I then did a lot of research on other websites, postings, etc and found that this tire has a characteristic "howling" noise when used on the ST1300. It has something to do with the even/symmetrical tire design. Also, apparently it's not a radial tire and is not recommended for bigger/heavier bikes. It's fine around town, but doesn't feel very stable on the highway. I learned my lesson before buying tires. I'll be replacing this tire before the Spring 2010.

Alfonzo Wisconsin Dells,  WI Awesome performance They ride very smooth, don't track on lines on the interstate, drove across the Mackinac Bridge which has a grated center lane and barely could tell. I took a ride from my house south and around Lake Michigan through rain, ice, high winds and 25 miles of snow with a passenger. No problem. This is my 3rd set of tires on my bike, but first with the ME880's. Would buy again!

Dwayne Portland,  OR Outstanding Tire I've had the Metzeler tire on the front of my Honda VTX1300 now for just over a month. Man, what a difference over the factory installed Dunlop! It feels like it grips better, it feels like it corners better and I feel like I have much more control. I only give the wet traction a four because I haven't had the chance to run it in the rain yet. I only replaced the front, but when it comes time for the rear, I will look for the same brand.

Mike New Albany,  IN On my '97 Valkyrie Cruiser... What a great tire! I switched from Dunlop’s. The ME880's are amazingly smooth, low-noise, corner-gripping and stable at high speeds. The 880's were such an improvement over the Dunlop’s that I had to write a review, which is entirely uncharacteristic for me. These are GREAT tires for the Valkyrie. Highly recommended!

I had Dunlop’s on the bike for the life of the bike so far (31,500miles)and the Metzler Marathons feel so much better on the bike. I will buy Metzler's again for my bike when i wear these out.

Sir Angus Denver,  CO Best. Tire. Ever. This is the only tire I will ever put on my motorcycles from now on. I can't stand those stupid Harley Davidson Dunlop tires that slide in the corners. These tires lean easier, lean farther, have more rubber under you when you do lean, they're just all around the best. You can actually feel them gripping on the road.

Rick cabot,  AR 2006 VTX 1800N I replaced the stock tires, Donlop's, (which were completely worn out) at 8k miles. These tires were awful. Shame on Honda for putting these tires on such a nice bike. The first thing noticeable about the Metzeler tire is the sure handling. The bike feels much more stable and does not follow road grooves. I have a little over 1k miles on them and it appears the life of the tire will far exceed the Dunlop. Even if they were to wear the same I would purchase them again just for the confident feel they give you.

Rich Meridian,  ID Very satisfied This tire replaced the original Dunlop 21" tire on the front of my 04 Harley Dyna Wideglide. The first thing I noticed was the Metzeler gives a far better ride. It also virtually eliminated the wiggle when you hit a crack or seam in the road. I also felt the tire was more responsive in cornering. It reacts a little quicker. My bike rarely sees rain so no comment on the wet traction. Too soon to tell about tread life but I am very optimistic based on previous reviews and tire reputation. I was so impressed with this tire that I told one of my riding buddies about it. He had planned on getting an Avon Venom to match the rear tire he put on last year. The Avon is showing wear already so he was a little hesitant about the putting that brand on the front. He opted for the Metzeler for the front. The next week he took a 900 mile trip. He thought the tire performance was excellent as well. We are both planning on putting Metzeler tires on the rear when needed. I definitely recommend this tire.

Don Morris Cleveland,  GA Metzler ME 880 Marathon Touring tire My original front tire only lasted a little over 5,000 miles. It was also a metzler, but it was a stock Lazertec street tire. Other than the mileage I was very happy with the ride, traction, etc. So, when it was time to replace it I went with Metzler again, but opted for the "high milage" Marathon 880. It has the same tread style as my rear tire and has been excellent as far as ride, traction, etc. I can't rate it yet for wet traction as I don't ride in rain unless I get "caught", nor can I rate it for milage yet as I have only had it about a month. But overall I am very pleased with Metzler and have every intention of keeping them on my bike (07 Triumph America).

Handled good in corners and was extremely good in the rain. I gave a 3 for tread life because the tire is only 1 month old. According to other 880 owners and information I've read, tread life is excellent. I would definitely recommend the tire.

Daryl S. Ventura County,  CA I purchased "confidence" My second set of Metzeler ME880's and even though I researched comparable tires (front/rear applications), I have to go with the tried and true reliability and confidence I have in the Metz 880's. Great ride, no tracking, good wear, and most importantly to me the confidence I have riding on them for their handling in both wet/dry conditions. I'm very happy with the price I paid from Motorcycle-Superstore.com and shipping was fast. Tough to put a price on the "confidence" of knowing you're riding on tires you can trust.

Philip Godsey Nehalem,  OR Good for the heavy miles I probably wouldn't recommend these tires for anyone who likes to ride in all weather conditions, at least not the rain or winter. However I'm amazed at how well they hold up. My dad has the same tires with about 10k miles on them and they still look brand new. My only qualm about them is that they don't have the best wet traction, but I can't be surprised either since they last so long because they're so hard. I'm definitely putting a pair of these on my other bike before my next road trip.

Jim Hubbard Clark Fork,  ID WOW!!!! This is the second set on my wife's 650 V-star. It's not stock, runs really well and she rides it like she's a half mile from hell. And got 57000 kilometers on the set. The bike will be worn out by the time she is due for more tires. Great tires!!!!!

Adam Carpenter Laughlin,  NV Metzeler ME880 Touring Front Tire This is the second Metzeler front tire that I've put on my Harley Electra-Glide. These tires are the best in my opinion. The ride is great and the cornering is solid. I've gotten good wear out of them. I also run the ME880 on the rear, and the results are the same, perfect.

Kat Morgan City,  LA Mounted on a DL650K6 I've always liked Metzler. However, it is very strange to see 'Made in Brazil' on the tire. So far, the tires have performed as expected (I have a ME880 on the rear also). They are quiet and offer exceptional stability and handling for a bias touring tire. For my type riding, tire wear is way above that of any other tire I have tried for 100% street use.

JESSE ELLIS REDDING,  CA METZLERS I HAVEN'T MOUNTED THESE TIRES YET BUT I BOUGHT THEM BECAUSE OF PAST KNOWLEDGE. THE METZLER IS THE FINEST MOTORCYCLE TIRE THAT I HAVE EVER TIRED. THEY MAY NOT WEAR AS LONG AS OTHERS BUT FOR ROAD HANDLING, THERE ISN'T ANY BETTER.BRIDGESTON AND DUNLOP BOTH TAKE BACKSEAT TO METZLERS HANDLING. I WON'T BUY ANYTHING BUT METZLER.

Fred Bridger Pickerington,  OH Metzeler ME 880 I own a 03 Goldwing Trike CSC and have had three dunlop front tires that wear out and continue to cup. After just having the Metzeler for a short time it handles much better than any elite. No wobble no tracking problems and the wear is consistent. The true test is a trip to Myrtle Beach from central Ohio next week.

Frank Contijoch Boca Raton,  FL Metzeler - ME 880 Front Tire is fantastic I am delighted to have changed my existing factory stock front tire for the Metzeler ME 880. I can tell the difference on all curves. Handling is smooth and precise. My owner’s club site raved about it and everyone was absolutely right. I also strongly recommend Motorcycle Superstore. The tire is "fresh" (not an old one collecting dust in some warehouse corner) and the preferred installer programmed worked great. No hidden charges. Price as appears on website!

Brent Walters,  OK Great tire I recently replaced my old Metzler tires with new ones. I am running Dynabeads and was able to get 13,000 miles out of my other Metzlers. I hope that these will be as good. I ride a 2006 Kawasaki Mean Streak. Great tires. Sure beat the stock tires and Bridgestones that I tried.

RMI Newberg,  OR Great Handling Tire I just had the Metzelers put on my Honda Shadow 1100 and really like the way they handle and feel on the road. No comparison to the original Dunlops. Cornering is smooth and the ride just seems more stable. Assuming I get decent life out of these tires, I'm a Metzeler fan for life!

Lance Lynch Raleigh,  NC Awesome Buy! Talk about a change in handling...I feel like I have a completely different bike! I felt like I was going to lay it down b/c it was cornering so easily! Stuck with the stock sizes...you won't be disappointed! Can't comment on tread life just yet - they've only been on for a few hundred miles.

ChrisV Manassas,  VA 18.5k with 500-1k left !!!!!! As reading through all the rave reviews, I thought about adding my story. I gave it straight 5's across the board for the same reason everyone else did. However, this is my story. I do A LOT of riding, and I needed to get my bike inspected (I forgot and it expired). In looking at the old, rear ME880, it was clear there was not enough tread to pass inspection, so I took it into the shop to have a new rear put on & get her inspected. While paying for the tire & service, the mechanic asked me if that was my bike, I told him yes. He confirmed there was about 500-1000 miles left in tread, but it wouldn't pass inspection the way it was. The guy ringing me up looked in the history and saw that they put the old tire on, and verbally noted How Many Miles I actually put on that rear ME880. All three of us were stunned, and jaws opened when he said I got just over 18,500 miles out of it. They both stated they have never seen anything like that out of an ME880. Usually they replace them around 12-14k. Needless to say, the ME880 will ALWAYS be on my bike!! Cheers!

david walsworth santa margarita,  CA H-D fxr This is the second front on the old Harley and I'll be sticking with them. Tried Dunlop-poor wear and traction. Tried Avon, vipers- super soft and the rubber cracked within a couple of months, weird wear patterns on the front and the rear lasted 8k miles. Front Metzeler lasted 24k and the first rear lasted 15k, second rear has 9k and still has good tread and no weather cracks.

DUG edmonds,  WA ME880 front tire I installed the ME880 on the front and rear of my V Rod and there was a noticeable difference in handling right away. The Metzeler tires gave me more confidence with stability and traction. The handling in corners was much more stable. I have only put about 800 miles on the tires since purchased so the tread life is yet to be seen but overall I would recommend the tires.

tom costa mesa,  CA Tire performance So far these Metzler ME880 tires have proven to be a very good quality, I have not tested them in rain yet and I have not put enough miles to determine the tread life. I will put them to the test this coming August on a trip to Sturgis from California, almost 1400 mls.

Robert J Mohan Sand Lake,  NY ME 880 front tire (On a Honda VTX 1800) The tire looks good and has tread in the center. I like that, as an open groove means NO rubber (less traction and faster wear)! I only have about 1800 miles on it so far, but hope to get better mileage than I got with the original Dunlop (5000 miles).

David Bressler Iselin,  NJ Metzeler - ME 880 Marathon Touring Front Tire I got an amazing 23000 miles on my last set of ME880's on my BMW R1150RT. I mostly commute on NJ hiways and at 145lbs I'm a light weight, but I'm very impressed with these "wear like iron" tires. I've tried a few other brands and only got half the milege of these Metzeler's. I'll never buy any other tire but these!

Marc Kupfer Kissimmee,  FL Metzeler radials on Victory Vision I have 33,000 miles on my victory vision. This is my fourth set of tires and first set of metzelers. initial reaction was they were a little stiffer to push into corners but once there they hold much better. I am still playing with optimal tire pressures to get best ride and handling. I would buy them again if I can get equal or better tread life than the E3s.. so far so good!
