Chieftain Tire Suggestions
Question
260 miles yesterday on my new Chieftain. Caught a squall on the way back. Bike handled great in the dry, but got very squirrelly on the wet exits. Any suggestions on better tires?

Avon Cobra
Thats great info. I am looking into one these myself and I appreciate you sharing the good and the bad…
The Dunlop in my experience sucks in the rain. I ride daily rain or shine and the E4 Dunlop isn’t really confidence inspiring but they last forever
Metzeler Marathon 888
x2 on the Metzler 888. I put them on mine this year. Did 1000 miles in the black hills a few weeks back and LOTS of rain 2 days. Handlesdit all and carved the corners with ease. Much better than the dunlops.
I love my Dunlap elite 4 in the rain
Commander twos get good reviews
Agreed Dunlops are ok in the dry but no good in the wet n it rains a lot here in Ireland ,good for big mileage in dry weather though
On dirais un tableau de HOOPER !
Michelin Commanders are the best tires for rain that I’ve ever tried.
I just lower my rear tire pressure. I still got 14000 miles out of it. I keep the pressure between 32 and 38 psi. It works for me
Stay off the paint stripes at the exits.
The guys I ride with say Avon is the best in rain and handling. Next Michelin commander 2 after a good break in
Hmm. .I’ve been in rain plenty with the dunlop 3. Never felt bad to me. Tire pressure ok?
How many miles in them, they gotta get scuffed
