BC Steve   Chas1969 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 02:25 am:        Longevity, yes it is increased. A Maybe is less risk of fouling, but that is all I have seen. Chas   Johnboy777 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 07:46 am:        I'm using the ME-880s and I love them! over 2k miles and they look brand new! What size are you running on the rear? .   Stevem123 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 09:09 am:        170-60-17 BC Steve   Skyclad Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 09:56 am:        Steve, Do you do any off-pavement riding? I have used the ME-880's on cruisers before and I do like them a lot for that application.   Jackbequick Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 04:23 pm:        I have a pair of Me-880's on a Dyna FXD and they were a great improvement over the Harley branded Dunlops (D401/D402?). On another cruiser forum, I was reading about some ME-880 issues with sidewall flaws and with requirements for gross amounts of weight (like 4 ounces) to get them to balance. The problem was described as being with ME-880's made in Brazil (which is what I have). And, on that forum, they were talking about tires being used on cruisers and baggers. The ME-880s were originally produced in Germany, then production was shifted to Brazil. The problem seems to be only with the Brazilian made tires. My ME-880s are fine at about 2,500 miles and balanced with 3/4 oz. of weight.

Of course I'm not pushing it hard in those areas because I'm not experienced at sliding as some other riders are. BC Steve
