Need to replace original tires on my 2014 Chief Vintage, due to age of tires, not wear. My local dealer is recommending either Metzler ME88's or Dunlop Elite 4's.
Now, I'm 67 y/o, retired, only ride in good warm weather out in the Indiana cornfields a few hours a week. No long trips anymore, no high speed Interstate runs, solo rider. Just low speed putts enjoying scenery & music.
Had numerous Harleys for 40 years & ran a lot of Dunlops. Liked them in the rain, cold, handled good, wore decent. Never had Metzlers.
NOT looking to start a "Fossil vs. Synthetic Oil thread" here. But based on my riding style nowadays. just want good handling/cornering, not concerned about tread mileage, cost not real relevant (both quotes were within $4.00). My 700 mile days are over.
