Bob Lamoree Wappingers Falls,  NY Great Tire Just had a pair of the Metzler Marathon 880's installed on my 08' Electra Glide Classic and LOVE them so far. We are currently in the middle of a road trip...New York to North Carolina, just about 800 miles. We had dry & wet conditions and the tires performed excellent. I cannot comment on tread life yet being I only have about 1000 miles on them, that is the only reason I rated tread life at 3.

G. Johnson Prattville,  AL Metzeler ME 880 Front & Rear Have put about 500 miles on tires (put on front and back). So far I am impressed - they far exceed OEM Dunlap tires that were on my H-D electra glide classic. Went thru 2 sets of Dunlop on the rear in less than 15000 miles (front tire was good for more than 15M) The Metzler are lot more stable and do not want to track in road 'gruves' like the Dunlops. I am impressed overall (haven't driven in the rain, yet) and if the tread life is good as the other factors, Metzler will be my selection from now on.

J. Godfrey Richmond,  VA Metzler ME High Mileage Curiser Rear Tire I got the tire and installed it replacing the OEM style tire. While installing the Metzler it had noticeably stiffer sidewalls than the OEM tire. It has been on my Harley now for nearly 1000 miles. I like the tire and hope it lasts. BTW: The name High Mileage is a bit misleading - I thought I was getting a tire that lasted longer rather than provides better MPG. If it lasts as long as the OEM, I will certainly buy another set of them. They work great on wet or dry pavement.

Ran Phoenix,  AZ Is there any better, I think NOT!!!! A year ago, at around 11K Miles, I replaced the Stock Dunlop's Front and Rear on my 2006 H-D Electria Glide with 880 Metzeler Narrow White Wall. It was the best thing I've ever done; the ride was like night and day. Smooth handling, hold the road, quiet, no vibration. Now with 23,600 Miles on my bike I replaced the rear with the same, the front is still like new. Metzler's will be the only tire on this bike and any other in the future. You can't go wrong.

Troy Foster Mariposa,  CA Metzeler 880 Marathon? I bought a set of these for my 03 FLHTCUI on the advice of a motorcycle magazine editor and while they fit right up, and the rear looks nice (as much as you can see on my ride) the tires are no bargain, nor does MARATHON have anything to do with their existence. I have less than 5k on my set and the rear is gone - gone. Both are badly checked as though they were ten years old. I am going to buy another rear and wear it through and then switch both back to Dunlop. They did handle well, and most of my riding is in mountains. But 5 thousand miles? Gimme a break? - Troy

Steve Wilson Ashland,  MA *** BEST Tire Value and MORE!! *** I replaced my original Harley (Dunlop) tires with Metzeler ME 880 Marathons 2 years ago and I'll never use anything else! The difference is night and day! Softer ride, tighter handling, better traction and longer wear. I just replaced the rear a second time after a whopping 11,580 pleasureful miles! Another benefit is that they not only come in all 3 styles (BW, WWW, and NWS), but you can go up in size to 140/90 instead of the stock 130/90 and get a slightly wider look and more rubber to the road. My '02 FLHR/I will be riding on nothing but these until the end of time.

Doc Las Vegas,  NV Metzeler ME 880 High-Mileage Touring Tires I bought a set of these tires for my 2004 Harley FLHT and they stink! Right from the start, I felt slipping and thought that the air pressure needed adjusting. I tried different pressures and the rear tire only lasted 7 months (8,000 miles). I would NOT recommend buying these. My stock crappy Harley Dunlops lasted over 15,000 miles.
