ME 880

- Filthy Phil from Sacramento, Ca
I bought this rear tire for my 94 Heritage Softail last summer. It's now March and I need a new one. My fault from spinning the tires too much but the rubber is now gone. I can tell you though, even with the rubber gone, I can still take corners like nobodys business and I feel as safe riding down the highway at 80 mph as I did when I bought them. No squirlies, no slippage, no grabbing the lines in the road. I'm buying both front and back ME 880's tommorow for the new riding season !

ME880 on GS850

- POOT from Toronto, ON
I've run two sets of these tires through on my 850, for a total of about 36000km between the two sets.

The traction in wet weather and cold weather is amazing. I've riddern in 2-3 inches of water at about 60kmph+ and had no problems . wet pavement at high speed is great also (assuming you dont turn sharply).

Although the traction has been adequate in the twisties, I will be trying the Lazertecs as my style is more aggressive than before and i dont feel 100% comfortable when leaning all the way.

A little slick, but long lasting!

- Fast Ed from Elmira, NY, USA
These came stock on my '04 BMW Montauk. They seem a bit slippery, but I have never gone down while using them, and I ride pretty hard in the twistys. Have 9,000 miles so far, and they look to be good for at least another 3 or 4 thousand miles. The front may be good for longer than that.

On a 96 750 Virago

- Prany from Oronoco, MN
I tried to get the OEM F17 and K425 but the store didn't have the F17. He suggested that I go with Me880. Got it installed and rode home on a paved road with gravels all over at a 90 degree corner. Boy, what a world of difference between my old OEM and this tire. The rubber just grip the pavement. Didn't feel any gravel at all. I have to remind myself not to turn too sharp. Afterall, it's a Virago not a sports bike.
