john gastonia,  NC Excellent tire I bought both front and rear for a vstar 1300 which is a heavy bike. These guys saved me over a hundred dollars over what the dealer wanted for 2. The tires were a radical change from OEM dunlops. Handling characteristics are so much improved and they stick to the road like glue. Tread pattern doesn’t follow road lines, even on grooved pavement. Comfortable ride on the highway as well. If the high mileage reports are accurate as well, this has been a great investment.

David S Margarita Enoree,  SC Metzeler ride Hi, I have tried two sets of tires so far. These are my third set of tires. I drive a 2008 Kawasaki classic 900 LT with two heavy people on it at all times. The tires ride is good and cornering is better then the others I had. I get about 13676 miles out of a set. 14460 miles out of my last set and I think I will get even more out of these.

Cathy Bowdish Renton,  WA ME 880 This is the second 880 we have had on our 05 Harley Roadglide. We believe it's the best all around tire for our riding conditions here in the Northwest. My husband rides rain or shine year round. Would highly recommend this tire for any touring bike.

David Bressler Iselin,  NJ Metzeler - ME 880 Marathon Touring Rear 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!

Nathan Miranda San Gabriel,  CA Better than OEM Tires Having over 66k on OEM tire (4 sets), I can honestly say that this is a far superior tire. Like day and night! Rides smoother, tracks and corners better, feels safer! This is my tire brand from now on!

Jerome Saint Louis,  MO strong purchase I'm had it for a month and have been very pleased with the handling, even in rain (on/off the highway). Just make sure whoever installs it doesn't have a crazy charge for installing tires brought in.
