Hi nick
either metzler or avon are the best for your T sport bike. i am running avons at present got fed up with the american dunlop tires felt un-easy on them.
Have a look on www.avonmotorcycle.com or metezler web sites for fitment details. Is your rear tire the 130 or 150 width on your bike.
cheers

The OEM Dunlops are terrible. I went with Metzeler 880's and I am very happy with them. I have also heard Avon's are good but have no personal knowledge of them.

Re: New Tyres Help
Hi Nick,
do you have those sticky Dunlop tires on it? 3 years ago when I first got my FXDX I wasnt happy with the tires but I think that was more to do with not being used to the weight and handling of the bike really. I hear k591 are also pretty good for the FXDX(T) range. From what Ive gathered you cant really compare the sticky dunlops and the stock dunlops, so yes the Metzelers might be far superior to the stock Dunlops but Im not sure that would be true of the Sticky dunlops that come standard with the FXDXT. I think Im going to go with new k591's when the MOT comes up in October (think I have k402 or something on there now - cant remember). Id be interested to know from someone who has used Dunlop k591 and metzeler which they prefer?

Re: New Tyres Help
I've just stuck a pair of conti blitzs on my stroker lowrider - grip like superglue at warp speed
No more high speed weave even if the OEM stuff lasted 9500 miles. I used to have them on my shovel years ago when I was despatching round London can't fault them. Tried Avons they were shite as the back end kept stepping out on the white lines.

The contis held their own in the down pour last night, smoothly crossing the white lines without some much as slip or a slide - can't knock them, they even gripped well when I put the power thru' a bit to quickly !
