My friend has a Vulcan and wants to get a tire tha has a hard center that endures acceleration and soft shoulders for cornering. I know they sell them for performance/sports motorcycle. Do they sell something like that for cruizers?Thanks!
Be careful with installing Metzler's on a heavy cruiser if you're going to be riding in the heat. By heat, I mean in the southwest US where temperatures routinely hit 100+. Although Metzler is an excellent sport bike tire, they have been known tode-laminatee in the heat on heavy bikes. Cooler northern climates don't seem to present a problem, though. Anyway, to answer your question: several manufacturers make multi-compound tires though you'd have to check websites to see if they have the sizes required. The manufacturers website will also have load/speed information related to the particular tire you're looking for. Make sure the tire is rated to carry the load of the bike plus rider, passenger, luggage, etc. Personally, I would go with the Avon Venom or perhaps the new Storm 2 if the sizes are available. Yes, I know people that run the Kenda ( and for the most part don't have any serious issues) but I believe you get what you pay for and when you only have two tires on the ground, I personally want to put on a reputable tire, not just something cheap.
Yes if they're carrying a CEO or other important person. Otherwise, they have peons.
No. They simply levitate on all the radio waves from everybodys' cell phones.
It dont matter what brand metler dunlop or what you buy you will proably get 10000 miles if you ride like a normal person and not an idiot
I put Metzler ME880 tires on my Vulcan Nomad, and got excellent tire wear and good handling from them. The OEM Bridgestone rear tire was worn out at about 7,000 miles, while the Metzler still looked good at 10K.
