Mikey, which Metzlers do you run? I am on my first set of ME 880 Marathons and they seem to be holding out better than anything else I have tried. Same tires. No Cracking or any other problems. Only thing I noticed initially was they ride a bit harder than the dunlops I think that's because the rubber is about twice as thick. I noticed it too. I use the marathon on the shovel. very hard tire. will last good. like them on the shovel. MY 2 cents Abo

I've bought tires through this place before. They do have good prices. Deliver pretty quick too...

| One thing for sure Avon Venom rear tires don't achieve high mileage at least on Baggers like mine. The new 140 size rear Dunlop I put on recently seems to be wearing and handling alot better... Only got 7,000. miles out of that last Avon. I got another Avon I took off prior to our trip last Summer that has decent tread still. Sell cheap...

New tire gonna go on the front is a Dunlop...
But, I've heard good stuff about the Metzlers. Same thing with Avon. I tried the Avon, now I'd like to try a Metzler. Maybe next time...

Had great luck with the Avon I ran on the back.
It's the cheap Chinese (like I'm runnin' now) that I've had problems with... For the extra $20 I paid for the back Metzler, I'll never go back to Dunlops. I am not sure if it was the tires, but it seemed like I had all the bad luck with them.

If you know anyone needing a rear 16" Avon Venom I got one with about 1/2 tread still. Sell it cheap.. $45. and I'll pay the shipping. Oh, and got a front 16" Avon to match will sell it too got alot of tread left.

Well, I got the back tire sorted out...
Soap and water while spinnin' it to find bubbles. Nope, didn't find 'em...
Finally, sprayed the solution on the valve stem and it was loose. Couple of turns with a 1/2 inch wrench and we're in the wind again...LOL...
Didn't wanna run a plug in it. But, that tire ain't got too many miles on it.
Still gotta do the front tire. Brand new one sittin' here...

I had to put a stop on the other one... Cool.. Good deal Dave!! Yeah, took a few minutes to install. Got it runnin', shot in the house to grab my helmet, got the bike ready to head out the gate and discovered that I forgot about the leak in the back tire! LMAO!!!
So, I gotta see what I can do with it. I think I'm gonna try tossin' a plug in the tire. Keep the bike local and order a tire for the back...
Got a brand new one sittin' here for the front. Might as well do both...AGAIN...

| I know exactly how you feel Dave..... I got frustrated with the shovel I used to have and an Iron head prior to that. Both were really pretty dependable. Key words pretty dependable. I always had this feeling am I gonna make it there or break down? LOL...
