New Motorcycle Tires!
So, turns out I got some new shoes on the Shadow Sabre. Yay for cheap tires in the mail!
The Sabre has 120/90-18s out front, 170-80-15s on the back. The stock Duncraps (Dunlops) were getting down to the Telly Savalas range, so I bit the bullet and purchased some sweet Metzeler 880 Marathons. The new set-up is same size on the front, but I went with the 200 width on the rear... just because I could. I love the "fat ass" look on bikes, and that is as fat as I'm going to get on a circa-2000ish standard cruiser.
Since this is my first new set of tires on a motorcycle... what is am I gonna feel with the new Metz on? A lot boards state that deep leaning is improved, some say that acceleration and braking is improved, other suggest wobble and vibration improves.
Any thoughts / experiences / observations?
