Review Summary:
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.
