I am in the middle of swaping out my stock sand cast wheels for stock spoked wheels and had new tryes fitted to the new wheels, now the rear wheel on the super glide had on it a dunlop 160/70 B17 so I had metzler 160/70 B17 fitted to the new wheel.
Now when swaping them out, I noticed that the new tryes seem narrower than the dunlops, so I got a rule out, dunlops where measuring the correct 160 width, but the mertzlers measured 150 width
so the metzzlers 160 are actually 150's
This is a blessing in my case, as I have an earlier fat bob gaurd fitted, so the extra clearance is welcome
but any one else, just keep this in mind
I am probably going to fit white walls to my Heritage before long and I was amased to find out that Metzelas"Forgive my spelling" are twice the price.Bring on the Dunlops.
DLUX66 How do you know shit sticks to a blanket?????????????????????? what scientific tests have you done lol ...or is this knowledge a result of a heavy nite on the piss??????
by the way ..went from whitewall dunlop to an avon and now am on a metzler with the roadking ...found the avon to be slippery compared to the metzler ..will be staying with the metzler and the metzler was a hell of a lot cheaper than the avon
Avons are a good sticky tyre too.
Just ask Philthy he runs Avons front and rear and loves em ( no chicken strips on his tyres)
I got 13,000 kms out of the original Dunlop and I am 400kms away from that on my Metzler and it isn't warn out yet.
It depends pizz but I am not a boy racer,I would rather cruise than push the limits around the twisties.
