John Jacksonville,  FL Great Fit for my 96' Suzuki Savage Good looking, great handling tire in both dry and wet conditions. Tracks true over pavement cracks; tight and wide cornering feels secure at all speeds. Tread wear barely noticeable after 2000 miles. Definitely worth the extra cost.

Ruby Rider The Dalles,  OR I can't see Ruby wearing anything better I ride approximately 16000 miles a year. Ruby has 47000 miles on her. The rear tire she has on her now was put on at 33000 miles. This is not the first nor will it be the last Metzeler ME 880's she wears.

Hassan Chula Vista,  CA AWESOME I replaced my stock Dunlop front tire a few months ago with a Metzeler and was so impressed with the performance and I couldn't wait until my rear tire was due for replacement. The first thing I noticed was the cornering, I left the shop and when I turned onto the freeway I thought I was going to lay the bike on its side because I was use to applying more pressure going into turns and the Metzeler tires require much less. I replaced the rear tire on 10/30/09 and only have 100 miles on the rear tire but I can already feel the difference. Metzeler has earned a lifelong customer.

Elvin Pearson Accokeek,  MD Metzeler - ME 880 Marathon Touring Tires The Metzeler is a high quality tire. I've used Metzelers on my high performance sport and full dress touring bikes and have been 100 percent satisfied with the overall tire performance in the most demanding conditions. They are very well balanced right out of the packaging too. I run the ME 880 on my Harley Ultra. The Metzeler is my first tire or choice...period.

Roger Yuba City,  CA Metzeler - ME 880 Marathon Touring Rear Tire 150/80/16 My first reaction to these tires is they have a large amount of tread depth. I just put my first hundred miles on them and felt the bike was really great handling in corners. I also felt my Wide Glide handled easier and more stable with less pressure to turn the bike. The Dunlops I had on my bike had long tread life but just were worn with a big flat spot in the center tread and that made turning harder, but with these tires I feel a noticeable increase in handling and feel much safer as a result. I hope I can get as much tread life as the Dunlops, but the handling has been worth the change. Rain is also in the forecast so hopefully this tire will handle the wet roads as advertised.
