How bout a tire thread?

 Shirley, here's my card, try not to wear it out...>whisper< put most
of it on Kickstarts tab.

OK.  I have had ME 880's on the sporty and the FXDS and was not real
happy with the fourth ME880 I had, defective, replaced by the factory.
The fifth, if you looked across the street had a problem.  That tire
did not have as many miles as the past 880's have gotten and it lost a
chunk of tread.

Shirley, a trickle of Dickel over some crushed ice please.

I don't want another 880, so I am open to suggestions. About tires!
I was lookin at Metzeler Lasertec Rear Tire 130/90V-16 and front.
Prices aren't too bad.  

Looked at Dunlop D404's and others, but don't know anything about any
of them.

Shirley, make sure Kick, er, my card doesn't get to thin.

As far as I can find they do not make them in the size I need.  It's
an FXDS not a bagger.  130/90-16

Same as an MT/90 - in fact the one I just mounted actually says 130/90-16 on
the side . Here"s a link to a size chart
http://www.steelthundercc.com/tiresizes.html  . You should get pretty good
mileage out of an E3 .

Yeah, Lynn's Superglide gets half again the mileage out of a rear E3 as my
bagger.  If I'm getting around 12k, that makes hers around 18k on a rear.
Maybe 24k out of a front.
I don't seem to get the 2 to 1 front to rear out of these like I did the old
491's, but I like the way they handle better.  Way better.
