I wish I could do a 3.5 rating. These are a good solid MC tire. For me I tended to break them loose too easily in turns when I excelerated. It happened on dry pavement and the feeling of your bake tire breaking loose in a turn is not reassuring. Several others on IA have noticed this. Also, unlike others here, I only got between 7 and 7.5k out of the back tire, so tire life was not great for me either. Still, It is a reasonable tire choice is you don't ride too hard. For me, I think I will stick with DS tires on my VS1400 from now on. But this tire seems to work for a lot of people.

21,000 miles and I'll be buying another set soon. Very pleased.

one of the best

I have 97,700 miles on my 1400 Intruder Chopper in 2.5 years. I get 32,000 miles cruising on my 880's or 23,000 miles city use. Bridgestones only go 12,000 miles max. The bike handles significantly better with the Metzler 880's. I always replace both front and rear together,even though the front tire is not worn out. Love em !!! Capt. Tom

Changed to Metzelers after 30k on Dunlops. What a difference. No more lateral oscillations on a steel bridge grate; bike takes a line that feels natural...the Dunlops always felt mis-matched on a curve. Very happy with the 880s.

Just got a new set and put about 500 miles on them,they run out smooth on the road,nices tires.

I run the metz 260, on my 109, pricey tire, but my bike is worth the extra. they grip the road well in dry and wet conditions, just purchased my new 260, over the weekend. will sugguest them to my wife for her vs800, when she is ready to replace her tires

Love it! I had a set on my XV750 and they preformed flawlessly so when it was time to replace the back tire on my 1500 again I went Metzler and have no regrets.

i got 280 rear tire its good tire i made 4500km on it still looks as new.

These tires smooth out the road and seem to handle well, haven't rode in the rain but i hear they handle good, i will say they don't follow all those little line's in the road, so far i rate them very good, and they seem to give me more trust in cornering.

Excellent tire, in my opinion. At least for a heavy cruiser. Over 7k miles on this set and they are wearing perfectly and have plenty of tread left. They have a nice rounded profile and make rolling the bike into a turn as smooth as glass. The more "boxy" OEM Bridgestones required a little coaxing to get the bike leaned over. I don't necessarily subscribe to the maximum air pressure philosophy though. I find over 40 pounds to make for a harsh ride. So far this has worked for me. Like I said, no wear problems. I've heard I can buy a better "wet traction" tire, but I can say I rode 220 miles on Interstate and back roads in a torrential downpour and the Metzelers performed flawlessly with no squirreliness or hydroplaning even though it rained so hard that visibility was diminished at times to the point that cages were pulling over to wait it out. I'm sold on the Metzelers and would buy another set.

Put ME880 WWW on the other day & noticed the difference immediately. The bike did not grab every little groove in the pavement. They seem to grip the road well while cornering better than the factory IRC's.

These tires for being bias ply are the bee's knees!! I did not know that anything but radials would handle and perform like this.

Had these tires put on my vs1400! I love the handling these tires provide. Turning corners is so smooth. Great tire if your looking to buy! Got a good deal too..motorcyclesuperstore.com. So take it easy guys and be safe!

I’ve been running them for about 10k miles and they still have a lot of life in them. Best tire yet...

Just put one on rear, 150/90/15 Tire design is more rounded than the stock, making turning and curves much smoother. All in all handling and tracking much smoother. I noticed it puts me a little higher in the saddle, not much. When it's time for the front, I'll be looking into a Metzeler

I've been running 880s for over year and a half with over 14k front and rear. For me the rear 880 has lasted longer than expected, it is starting to show wear in the center but with plenty left. The front is not showing wear for a tire with over 14k on it. Excellent grip compaired to the stock Dunlop.

I have been running Metzeler on all of my bikes for years. Won't use anything else. Good price, great mileage, good looking, and most importantly they stick. ME880 is my only choice, if they don't have it in stock they order it and I just have to wait.

Just installed my second set of Metzlers. This is a very good tire, I ride mostly the twisted roads up in the North Georgia Mountains near Suchs, Helen and Dahlonega. This tire performs very good, rain or shine.

Great tires but was slightly dissapointed that the rear is smaller than my old 880, tire is now made in BRAZIL not GERMANY if this matters to any one
