My current dunlops are dry rotted, plenty of tread left but I wanted new tires. I can wait to have them installed. BTW motosport.com had the MT66 front and rear tire sets for $150 free shipping. Ordered arrived in three days.

Tried them, didn't like them, went back to Metzlers. For me, the MT66 just didn't hold the road as well.

The Pirelli's (for me anyway) are way nicer than the stock IRC's...but just about anything would be I guess...

I run 40 pounds on my Metzlers. It is what they recommend for the LS650. Handles well at that pressure and excellent tire life.

( It has to do with the sidewalls.) I have over 13 K on my set of 880s, have always run 40 psi, and they look like they just came off the rack. Considering the price per mile, they are a bargain.

Although I''ve never owned any Metz my son has a set on his 1500 Intruder, they seem to ride and handle OK but no better than my MT66s.
