Tires
I’m picking up my new to me F6B Deluxe Wednesday. At 10,500 miles and original tires date code 1249 I’m going to get new rubber right away. I’ve run Metzeler ME888s on my Valkyrie 1500 Tour and they work great. Between Dunlop Elite 4 and ME888 I’d go with the Metzelers. Anyone have any comments?
On my Hog I have had two sets of ME 888 come apart, literally throw the tread off.
Like a truck tire would.
I was running heavy 80 and 90 MPH all day (back from Sturgis ) Both times.
You may have better luck.....
But no more for me.
AVON Cobras! So far so good.
They went to Sturgis and back. no complaints.

Date code doesn't look right. First two numbers are the week, next two numbers are the year. Bike came out in 13...should be a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 on the end.

Ya, he either had a "typo" error, or he read the wrong thing.Originally Posted by wjduke
I'm an Avon Cobra fan. As soon as these are worn out I'll change to Avon.
I have Dunlop E-4's and they are just fine..No issues at all and intend to run them again when these wear out...Some like the Avon tire a lot and they get good reports...No experience with Metzlers, but many do not like them much....I would recommend the Dunlop if it were my bike...Regards and ride safe
What kind of mileage do you get on your Avon’s. Assuming you’ve used them on a big bike.
Yeah, a memory typo. LOL.Ya, he either had a "typo" error, or he read the wrong thing.
Yes, I entered it wrong. 49th week of 2012. Thx for catching it.
I sell tires for a living...that stood out like a sore thumb to me!
