I am running an ME 880 200 on the rear and the OE Dunlap on the front. I noticed today that it is bald as I am.... What is the best front? Should I go with the ME880?? I saw there is a lower one one the direct line. Your thoughts are always valuable.

front tire?

I've used Dunnies,metzs,Coneys and now an Avon and they are all ---- from 3-7 thousand miles and they are all shot. I put the Avon venom on last fall and its already toast... with 42 lbs air pressure. So I will try to make this one last the rest of the summer, doubt it.

I'm a BIG fan of the Metz 880, but Avon and Bridgestone make excellent tires as well. Any one of these will beat the stock Dumflop hands down. The Elite 3 series Dunflops supposed to be a much better tire than the OEM model, but I'm not about to buy any to find out.

Just MY opinion,
Houndog

Been running the E3 front and back
I like 'em
Punched a hole in my rear last week so I got a new one now

I got 12k on the front Metz. I liked it. Now, Iam running an Avon, which handles real nice thru the twisties. Got only 1k on it-- can't predict yet how many miles i will get out of it. I suggest you go with one of these- which ever you can get the best buy on. Can't go wrong with either.

I run Bridgestones front and rear, now have 14000 on the front still in good condition. I got 12000 out of the Batlax on the rear and replaced it with another.

 

[Woot!]

I got 15.5k miles out of my front Metz. Could stretch it a few more k, but its getting a bit thin. I'm now trying to burn up a used Dunnie before replacing with a new Metz.

with progressive springs I got 22,500 on a Avon Venum R on my 1800R. and it was not down to the wear bars yet. ran 40# all the time.

I went with the Metz... Wow it rides so much better with some tread

The one which is still holding air and has some tread on it.

As Crew would say, "Opinions vary........."
