| I will need tires shortly.
Has anyone put on the Metzeler Fell Free tires???
I Run the Metzeler 880's on my Bike and like the way they handle and wear. 10K + miles on rear.
Since the Feel frees look like the 880 tire patern, I was just wondering about if they handle/last like the ones on my bike.

| Max,
I have Metzlers but not sure which ones. I will go out tomorrow and check to see if they have a name on them. My OEM's were Hoops, and then I had 2 sets of Diablo's, and now the Metzlers. I really like them. If they last as long as the Diablo's I will probably replace them with the same Metzlers. But I will check tomorrow to see if I can see a name on the tires. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| Max, I just saw your post. I installed a set in the spring and now have about 700 miles on them. I got to ride them in the rain about a month ago and they played nice. They are a little better than the Hoops in ride quality (my opinion), but will they last past longer? Not enough data yet  My other choice were the Diablos' |

I have the Metzler Feel Free tires and I love them. They are grippy on wet or dry pavement and track smoothly through the curves. I have about 2,000 miles on them and they seem to be wearing very well. |

| Just an update on the Mezeler feel free tires. I now have over 6000 miles on them and they still feel new. No signs of scalloping or flat spots. What is amazing is they did not loose air over the winter storage still holding 36 and 29. I had a non Honda dealer mount and balance the tires this time, maybe a coinsidence by I am pleasently surprised. I hope to report back in another 6000 miles  |

| I thought I read somewhere, that the Metzler and Pirelli were almost the same tire. I have a set of Pirelli Diablo with about 700 miles and they ride very nice. |

| Diablo and FeelFree are the same ground construction, but different profiles. Both were produced in the same factory.
