What tires do you use?

One of my co-workers needs new rubber on his, he likes my E3's but it doesn't look like they come in a size to fit the 1300.

As a former VTX 1300 rider, I recommend Metzeler ME 880s.  Nice grip, even in wet conditions, not noisy and wear well (if you keep them well inflated; I ran 40 F, 42 R).  Have your bud do a thread search on the vtxoa and vtx cafe boards, but I'd say the Metzelers are the consensus choice.  DLP carries them and will do a price match.

Still have the original Dunlop on the front.  Will probably change to a Metz this winter.  General Grabber on the back.  07 VTXR 8000 miles.

Joanne has Avons on hers. She seems to like them.
