I've been riding Metzeler's for the past few years both in Europe and in the USA. A German company with lots of reputation. However I must say, I'm not smart enough to know whether they are any stickier on the highway than the Dunlop Elites which I've also run on my VALK for years. I can say that "new" Metzelers are better than "old" Metzelers. I have complete confidence in the sidewalls as well, as the Germans are engineering sticklers for details. You will know for certain that your tire will hug the road on a fast turn with plenty of lean. Also, this is about the largest size you will want to put on a stock VALKYRIE.

I have been using these tires on my bike for several years now.I love these tires on my bike. I love them because they hold my bike on the road like glue. I have never had one instance when I felt that the tires were not performing exceptionally. This is true whether I am on concrete or asphalt. This holds even when I'm traveling on roads that are poorly maintained. I have not any problem with ruts or grooves as I had with other tires. On the negative side, the overall mileage is not superior. You're looking at 8,500 to 11,000 miles per tire. From what I have read, that's about average to a little less than average. I attribute that to a bit softer compound than other tires. It is this compound that really holds the road and gives me the perfect performance that I am looking for. I'll live with a bit fewer miles for the grip and safety that these tires give me. I have read that some riders will tell you to inflate the tires to higher PSI in order to increase mileage. If you do this ...

Very good tire and great handling. Bigger than the stock tire but it outlast the factory tire by about a 1000 miles.
