Basically I need to get tires for my 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 classic and I have been looking at Metzler but then I found a set of Dunlop 404Fs that are stupid cheap but I'm wondering if they're worth it? I saw something on here about a shop in sterling that's pretty much right behind where I live so i was going to check them out before I went and bought them but right now i'm debating whether I can justify the more expensive tires since I don't race (it's a cruiser duh) and I really don't take extremely long trips. I guess one thing that would sway me one way or another is life of the tire since i don't ride anywhere near as many miles per year as I used to. Any comments would be appreciated -Paul ------------------------------------ "Do you know what the chain of command is here?
