Kevin Brown Fort Smith,  AR 08 Harley review Tire has excellent traction both in cornering and acceleration. Seems to be wearing well. Great looking tire. Haven’t ridden in rain yet and have only had for about 1 month.

DUG edmonds,  WA me 880 xxl I installed the 880 tires front and rear on my2004 v rod the rear was upgraded to the 200 from stock size 180 with very minor modification and the handling and cornering is excellent Not to mention the wider tire looks bad! I only have 800 miles on the tires so I can’t see any wear issues yet if I can Keep from letting the smoke out of the rear tire I think they will hold up fine

MIKE GARCIA OAK HARBOR,  WA ME 880 This is the second Meltzer on my bike. The tires handle well and the tread pattern has a good and functional look. For now I will continue to put this tire on my bike.

Doug Florence,  OR Very good tire This tire improved cornering a lot. Seems to stick very good on acceleration and takeoff. I am very happy with the look and feel of the tire. I really do not know about long tread life yet. I would recommend this to anyone especially on an M109R. I hope that Metz someday builds a VR or Z rated tire for the front.

Ivan Woodard Fayetteville,  VA Metzeler ME 880 VRSCDX Took my Night Rod Special on a 350 mile trip the day after having the tire put on and couldn't have been happier. Could definitely feel an improvement when going down the interstate.

Ian Robins Christina Lake,  BC Metzler Marathon XXL rear tire This is an extremely good rear tire. It's stable, and a comfortable ride. I feel confident leaning into corners. The hard compound is a little less grippy in the wet but still good. One has to simply ride with a little more caution in the lean and back off a little. I would have preferred a little more longevity in the tread but, given the fact I ride a warrior, a very torquey motorcycle, I'm not too disappointed. All in all a very good product.

Robert Kramer Tucson,  AZ Metzeler ME 880 XXL Standard Equipment on Triumph R-3--corners great, traction and stability in any weather. This is my 3rd tire in 30,000 miles--if I didn't get on the gas so hard, probably would last longer--but what the Hell, life is short!! Ride Hard---or--Stay Home!!!
