Make handling the bike a dream.......
When I purchased my 2003 Honda VTX1800C four years ago, it had the Metzeler ME880 on the front and rear. Before the purchase of the Motorcycle, I did a test drive. I was so impressed with how a 750lbs Motorcycle could handle, even at low speeds. I was in need of tires after 4 years and I didn't hesitate to purchase the ME880's. Very Nice Handling! :)

Good tire, great price.
Great product. My wife's bike (Honda Shadow 750 Aero) on stock oem rubber had problem with tar snakes on hot days in that the bike wanted to follow the snake rather than turn. As you can imagine this can be a bit scary on Midwestern roads. This tire has pretty much eliminated that issue.

Much better than Avon Cobra
These tires replace Avon Cobras and are much better for the kind of riding I do. They are very stable and don't have any of the twitchiness the Cobras had in the corners or on less than perfect pavement.

The best all around tire for my BMW K1200LT
I highly recommend these tires. I've tried several others and keep coming back to the Metzlers. They are worth the extra $$

The standard
This is the standard for mileage tires. Every time I hear of another 10,000 mile plus tire model I try it and find it wanting. The 880s come closest to 10,000 miles of any I have tried. I ride a heavy sport touring bike about 15,000 miles a year. They are noisier than some though.

Great Tire even if a bit spendy
I've got a Valkyrie, and as soon as I could went away from the Dunlops. Too hard to corner and always felt like they were going to break away in a lean.

So I went to Avon Venom's and loved them, however I had always found that the Metzlers I had on my 81 Yamaha 400RD were the best handling/riding/lasting tires I had ever had. The ME880's give me this same feeling now with my Valkyrie

Good performance for an unorthodox application
After wearing thru several front tires on my sidecar rig I tried the ME880 thinking a cruiser tire would tolerate extended upright riding (sidecars don't lean) better than the DS tires I'd been using on my R12GSA. I'd also hoped the flatter profile would give me more traction up front. Both of these things appear to be true after 1k miles on the tire.; Haven't had rain since mounting the tire, but it corners well and handles dirt roads better than expected.

Simply just great tires. One of 3 go to options I choose from depending on the bike build. My 3 options perform fairly equally. I tend to designate the look of this one to a cruiser only styled build.

Chad c on Feb 23, 2017
I'm going on a trip in a couple of months and I was replacing my rear tire so I thought it would be a good idea to go on and replace the front so I'd have a new set on the bike. The front one I have only has about 20000 on it so I'll keep it as a spare. I usually go through 2 front tires to 1 rear tire.

Brent F on Apr 4, 2016
Works, Well, Fits my bike as this is the factory tire. Looks nice. I only just had them put on a cruised about 600miles so i can;t say how they hold up long term but they are sticky enough for my riding and I haven't had any issues thus far. I ride a Yamaha Midnight Warrior.
Cody F on Mar 21, 2016

Trying the Metz for the first time since my front bridgestone didn't last very long and I was very disappointed with it, for how much these tires cost they should last a long time. So I am hoping the metz is better than the bridgestone.

I've had this tire before and it performed very well in all conditions. It had about 4000 miles on it and just wore out, but the back tire looks great!! So it just might be one of those things no big deal.

I have a 2003 Harley VRSCA. What is the difference between the Metzler 880 120/70 ZR-19 and 120/70 ZR-19 (60W)?
A shopper on Jul 23, 2012
BEST ANSWER: The Metzeler ME880 Marathon Front Tire in size "120/70ZR19 60W-1" is the OEM replacement for the Harley V-Rod and the size "120/70ZR19 60W-2" is the OEM replacement for the Trimuph Thunderbird. Both tire sizes are Z rated and have the same 60W weight rating.
Will this fit on a m109r suzuki?
A shopper on Apr 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes... It's on mine right now.
I bought a 880 metzeler marathon 150/80/16 H71 for the front of my 2006 Vulcan 2053 cc LTD classic. There is a rotation arrow with the note on the sidewall that is for rear mounted position. The bike shop mounted this tire on the front with the rotation same as noted for the rear position. Is this right, or right tire, is this tire just for the rear or can it be mounted on front of bike? Will the rotation be the same way on rear as front? It only has a rotation written on one side for a rear position. Joe
A shopper on Jun 30, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Logically the tire rotation direction would apply for the front as well as the rear. Hers is a note from Metzeler website - Tyres are only to be used on vehicles for which motorcycle tyres were originally approved by the manufacturer. Any other use
can be dangerous. Check if the tyre has directional arrows. If it does, you must mount the tyre so that the arrow points in the
direction of rotation. Some METZELER tyres have a red dot on the side wall. This indicates the lightest point, and should be positioned
next to the valve.
I'm considering switching my front 07 Shadow Spirit VT750DC oem tire to the metzeler 110/90-19 62H. Does anyone know if this tire can be used with a tube?
Marc H on Aug 9, 2014
BEST ANSWER: Most tires can be used wit a tube you just have to make sure spokes (it you have them ) are covered with a rim band to protect the tube form nips while riding.
My Wife's 2012 Victory Vegas currently has a Dunlop Bias-ply D417, 180-55B-18 on the rear and a Dunlop Bias-ply Elite-3, 90-90-21 on the front. I would like to swap them out to the Metzeler 880's. Metzeler makes a 180/55ZR-18 for the rear and a 90/90H-21 for the front. 1) Are the above Metzelers OK for fitment on her 2012 Victory Vegas? 2) Can you tell me if both of these Metzelers are Radials and if they would create any issues to her Bike such as going from a Bias-ply to a Radial tire? 3) How does the Bike handle when you go from Bias-ply to a Radial on a Bike? 4) I appreciate that you don't want to mix tire make-ups on a Bike (example, front = Bias-ply, rear = Radial)... but what happens if you go from both of them being Bias-ply... to both being Radials? Lots of questions... Thanks.

BEST ANSWER: I can answer some of your questions. I also went from bias to radial some years ago and I like the difference, if you look up on the net under bias ply versus radial you will see a link from Michelin that will describe the differences better than I can. The Metzeler 880 are great tires for you machine and if you follow the size on your rims now and use the same size they will fit, some have gone larger but not sure where the limit is. Handling will be better with radial tires. Hope this helps.
Is there a difference between the Metzler 120/70H21 and the Metzler 120/70H21OE?
A shopper on Apr 16, 2012
BEST ANSWER: No, there is no difference. The "OE" designation denotes that this tire is an Original Equipment tire, i.e. the same tire that certain bikes were equipped with from the factory.

For example, the 120/70-21 size was the original equipment tire for the 2008 Yamaha XV1900 Star Raider.
I was wondering what the difference is between the metzeler 130/90-16 nws, 130/90H16 and the 130/90HB16 WWW
A shopper on Aug 23, 2012
BEST ANSWER: The sizing of the tires are all the same. NWS is the designation for the Narrow White Stripe (thin stripped white walls) and WWW is the designation for the Wide White Walls (thick stripped white walls). All other without any designation are going to be regular black wall tires.
Do I need to tell the year of my varago, if so it is a 1996?
