Hi. I’ve done about 20k miles on my 2010 Road King here in Portugal. Just me, no baggage, rarely faster than 60mph but total curves, rarely in a straight line but……. only ever get 5k max out of Dunlops and get this, main dealer now want €1,150 for a new pair of white walls!! (Exchange rate equal to $). Tires are expensive here and have just gone up 50%. Have been offered these Cruisetech all black for about €550. Just hoping they last longer. 10k would be great cause twice the mileage means half the price. Cheers.
Great video brother. I subscribed just to make you an even 500 subs...lol I got Cruistec for my Honda CMX1100 and love it. A little more expensive than usual but worth it I think. Peace. Eric in Kissimme Florida.
I just came from the bike shop after purchasing this tire. (240-40-18) for my ‘07 V-ROD. All the reviews I read said this tire is great. I’ll know in a couple days!
BikeParts365 Just got home from picking my bike up with my new Cruistec on the ass. Huge difference in handling. Before you had to put a little extra weight into a turn and to swerve back and forth. Not anymore! As soon as I started riding I noticed how much easier it was to lean and turn. I barely have to move and she goes. I have a 240 rear and a 120 front and feels like the tires are the same width. I will definitely be replacing the front with a Cruisetec also!
@@2old4allthis Yes, I’m at just over 4500 miles on the tire and it’s just hitting the yellow mark on my tire gauge. Still handles like it did on day 1, but I don’t see me getting another couple thousand miles out of it. I have a Michelin Commander 2 on the front with over 8,000 miles on it and it’s not in the yellow yet. So as much as I like the performance of this tire, I like getting more miles for my money. So I will be switching to Michelin most likely when this tire is up. If you only ride a couple thousand miles a year and like a good handling ride than this is a great tire. I’ve already done 7,000 miles this year and am not done so I’ll suffer performance over mileage. Hope this answers your question.
@@cecet5534 👍👍 They are a great tire, lots of twisty miles on mine, my floorboards are about ground down to a nub, these cruisetecs really let you use all your lean angle
How many miles do you think one can get on a cruisetec? I put one on the rear of my road glide about a year and a half ago. Just drove a screw through it. Replacing with another cruisetec. Hoping for 10-12k miles.
Jamie Roberts they say you should get about the same as the oe tire so I’d put you about 15k-20k so long as you keep an eye on tire pressure! Safe travels
My sportster has the Michelin Scorcher 31 as the stock tyre. Would the Metzeller Cruisetec or ME 888 Ultra be a better choice over the Michelin Scorcher 31 ? I am looking for mileage as well as grip in wet conditions.
If you ride in the rain a significant amount id recommend the comm3. If you want lots of miles I’d recommend the comm3. For me personally, my bikes aren’t my main mode of transport so i ride when it’s nice. Also I want grip more than miles. That’s why I run the cruisetec.
The tyre is biggest garbage ever maded from Metzeler. Ill take these tyre at recomended for better tyre then MARATHON... After mounting tyre on my Electra glide ultra ill been shocked tyre sliding at anny low speed.. Factory pressure at 2.8 bar cant be used. Aftet ill drop pressure at.. 1.6 bar tyre start keep road well. Shame for that expensive garbage. NEWER AGAIN!!!!
Had these cruise Tech installed about a month ago on my 2012 electric glide classic I absolutely love them They are my forever tires
Love these tires on my SG .your review is dead on. Will buy them again.
I also got a Sport Glide and looking to get these tires.
@bikeparts365 & @albertperez2743 - How much mileage did you get of them?
I have a Fat Boy 114, and it came with Radial tires, and I have only ever used radial tires.
Great review! Having them put on my Indian Springfield today!

I put one on the front. Couldnt believe how smooth it fell into a corner. In a good way. Just wasn’t ready for it.
My Mechanic says to run 42 lbs both front & rear ?

awesome! let me know what you think! you running a metz on front?
BikeParts365 The front tire was fairly new when I bought the bike a couple months ago, but if I like the rear one I will be switching it out for sure.

VROD TALES Good info. Any updates after 6 months?

Have them on my 16 road glide 👍👍👍
Looking forward to running the Cruisetec on my RG this year.

Grip is way more important than mileage. Think about it, what good is a high mileage tire with less grip when you’re not alive to wear them out?

Is it ok for sportster forty-eight 1200???
@bikeparts365: Cruisetec or Commander 3 for a 14XL883N?

Night dragons or these for corner grip and flicking in the corners?
These. Also dig logic 👍
I want them
Way too soft , can't get any miles out of them !

Sorry to hear that. Metzeler does offers a satisfaction guarantee for 30 days after purchase. Hopefully that may help.
Bwaaahahaha
after 500 miles did it get better ?My friend had the same issue , after 600 miles it got really better and he was happy for another 20 000 .
You do know there is a break in period with ALL tires?? They are ALL slippery in the beginning so you take it easy. 🤦🏻♂️
