Re: What tyre do you use on Your Harley?

As I ride faster and harder than any one on this site I only use Conti's as the Avon is a pile of expensive crap and suitable only for softies on softtails. When travelling round the M25 of up the A1 at speeds in excess of 55 mph (just so you can do the maths Baza the speeds 2.31 times faster than that) I need a tyre that doesn't just hold on, it grabs tha tarmac and don't let go for no one.

I ride my 103ci to the stops - it talks the torque and warps the walk - none of the vemon riders I was with could live it in the rain.

Re: What tyre do you use on Your Harley?

Currently got Venoms on my Dyna and will be switching to Conti Milestones in the next week or so.....will let you know the difference.

I used to ride with Mezlers on my (rather heavy) Rigid Evo Chop , but they were quite soft, and wore out quickly - went onto Contis which were galaxies better, hence my current choice.

Will have a set of stock wire wheels for sale soon (with venoms) if anyone is interested....
