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.

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.

The 2009 I bought brand new had Bridgestones and I only got 5,000 out of the front tire all the other K 1200 LT's had Metzeler's and I got 8,000 miles out of the front tires.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Jim Fairborn,  OH Best all around 2005 Honda VTX 1800 with accessories equals 900 pounds. The original Dunlops were "jooky". They would follow a magic marker line down the road. The Metzeler gave me a great handling cycle. Can't report on the wear but the Dunlops only lasted 7,500 and I ride easy so would expect much better mileage from the Metzeler.

I was astounded that the tire lasted 20,000 miles. I also have an ME880 on the back which now has 15,000 miles and will be fine for another season of riding. The radial grooves are great on grooved pavement and the tire doesn't hunt like the OEM tire did. Dry and wet handling have been more than adequate on my cruiser bike. I don't think there is a better cruiser tire option on the market.

Barry Coughlin Chi,  BC Metzler ME880 Front Have had good luck with Metzeler’s tires to date. The latest one was purchased to be installed once the current tire is finished. I rode to the Yukon last year and todate do not know the total mileage of a front tire. Rear tire offered approximately 16,000 with the same amount of "seal coat" surface Fort Nelson - Yukon and back. I am fully satisfied with the tires to date, although like most riders would appreciate a longer tread life.

Dale Independence,  MO Metzler 880 tires Just replaced the tires on my motorcycle with two new Metzler ME 880 touring tires. I can already tell the difference in the way the bike handles. They have great cornering traction and stability and a very smooth ride. I had Dunlop’s on before and noticed that they were built much stiffer which resulted in a rougher ride. Even pushing the bike around the garage took a lot more effort. This is my first set of Metzeler’s and I have only had them on for two months but if they keep on performing as they are now, I will be very pleased. So far I can only say that I would rate Metzeler’s better than Dunlop.

Steve Sachar Jamaica,  NY Metzeler ME 880 front tire I have a BMW K1200LT and I find the tire wears quite well other than some cupping at the end of its service life. It can be a little noisy with some miles on them when leaned over on the hwy. But with good handling, traction and very good tread life (14,000 mi)I'll keep using them. vvvvvv

Terrie Pakkala Bath,  NY Best tire around. I ride my bike exclusively in the early spring through late fall. I am going on my 3rd set of tires this season. First set I got close to 16,000 miles, second set already over 13,000 and still has reasonable tread. Last summer I spent 10 weeks on the road with the bike and had no trouble in any kind of weather I encountered. I had several sets of cheap tires when I first purchased my Shadow 600, but will never buy anything BUT Metzeler’s from now on. The stability they give me on the road is well worth the extra cost. I'm a true believer in the quality of these tires.

Ray G. Boe Port Saint Lucie,  FL Metzler!! The best tire available. My wife and I have 4 motorcycles. We started with a Suzuki C50T Boulevard (mine) and a 750 Honda Aero (hers). I ride the Boulevard 150+ miles per day commuting to my office. I switched my tires to the Metzler 880 at 15,000 miles and will never switch to another brand. I ride in every condition and all types of traffic from open roads to congested freeways, dry roads, wet roads, and have experienced some extreme emergency manuevers. I also installed the Metzler 880 on my wifes Honda Aero and she can feel the difference. I recently purchased 2, very low mileage 100th Year Anniversary, 1200 Sportsters for my wife and myself. I installed new Metzler 880 Tires on both of the bikes and they perform perfectly. These bikes are small Harleys with a BIG ATTIDUDE and the Metzlers handle everything I dish out. Motorcycle Superstore delivered my Metzlers very quickly and at the best price! BUY METZLER 880!!!

Bumblebee San Antonio,  TX Metzler 880 After 10k miles, I just converted my Yamaha Road Star 1700 from Dunlops to Metzler 880 Marathons. *** I don't know how long they'll last & I really haven't ridden them in the rain yet***, but in the dry, they are pretty stable on the highway and they REALLY turn in much quicker than the stock Dunlops. It has transformed the handling of the big bike and it now corners much more like my Harley Sportster. I would recommend them (at least to anyone who lives in a generally dry area with a mix of twisty, hill roads and interstate highways).

The bike holds the road and corners so much better now. I have only had them a few months so I can't comment on the tread life but even if it is shorter, I will gladly give up tread life for the better handling that I get with these tires.

David Killeen Waskom,  TX Metzeler front tire Tire seems to handle much better than the OE Dunlop. I don't know about tire life yet as I just got it. I've only got 500 or so miles on it. The review form made me check something so I chose 3. I bought them because friends that use them say that that last longer than the OE tires. I'd sure recommend Motorcycle Superstore though. Tire came when they should. Customer service was very helpful about a question I had. The one thing that they could do is find and recommend dealers to mount them. Tirerack.com does this with car tire and it really helps. Bike shops are very reluctant to mount tires that are bought somewhere else.

I've ridden for 30yrs but by no means a pro but the difference was noticed the first curve. The Dyna doesn't come close to being a sport bike but with the 880s there's no more hesitation entering a high speed corner ex.60mph in a 25mph curve with ease. Would never have attempted that with the Dunlops. Only have a 1000mi. on tires got 10000mi w/Dunlop so we'll see! Did I mention they look cool!

In the cornering department you couldn’t ask for a tire which will give you a sure grip on hot slick road surfaces along with wet tire traction all in one tire. For the money without going to some exotic high breed tire which will break your bank! I will place my life with the ME 880 Metzler tire.

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.

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.

I've put about 500-600 miles on them, and I can't believe how much better they are than Dunlops. Went with stock size front, and the larger 200mm rear - looks much better, and the handling can't be touched. Had to buy shorter pegs! It likes to corner so much now. Highly recommended.

Daniel Craig Harrison,  MI Metzeler-ME 880 Marathon Touring Front Tire I'm very pleased with Metzeler brand tires. This is my second set on my VTX and I have never experienced any trouble with these tires. They wear well and are extremely quite when it comes to road noise. I feel very secure leaning into to corners or in adverse road conditions. I will recommend this brand of tires to all my friends.

Tony Bethlehem,  CT Good Tire Put this tire on my 2000 Moto Guzzi Jackal...First thing I noticed was much better handling and smother ride...I have the same tire on the rear and in a recent heavy rain they both got me home safely. I’m hoping to get more mileage out of these than the OEM Lazertech's..

Harald Schneider New York,  NY Metzeler - ME 880 Marathon Touring Front Tire Great Tire, bought this one for my Honda VTX 1300 S - they are a lot better than the stock Dunlops. Better cornering, better stopping and a lot better at wet conditions. I heard they have not the some long tread life as stock will buy again!
