I just had new motorcycle tires installed. This time I chose to go a different route then my normal Dunlop OEM tires. I bought Pirelli Night Dragons for the Harley Davidson Ultra Limited.
I did a lot of research on the different tires that are available for my motorcycle. I looked at Michelin, Metzeler and other brands motorcycle tire stats, reviews etc. I went with the Night Dragons as it was the only motorcycle tire that seemed to get better reviews in an area that concerned me quite a bit, grip in the wet. As much as I
love riding, it always seems to rain when we go out and a good “wet tire”, all things equal, got my attention.
Now I do have concerns about not using the Dunlop OEM tires. Those motorcycle tires are available at all Harley Davison dealers and would likely be in stock should a worst case scenario occur. While it would not be optimal to run to different brands of tires on the motorcycle, I am sure worse things occur every day.
The wife and I will be leaving soon on a 2,000 mile vacation ride so I am sure we will get to try these motorcycle tires in the wet and dry! I will post a more in-depth review when we return.
