This is OEM for the Triumph Thunderbird 1600. It's reported that Metzler designed this size in conjunction with Triumph in England just for this amazing handling bike.First the bad-you can at most get 7,000 miles from this tire in most cases. This bike eats rear tires. But handling, wet traction and braking are excellent on this tire. Perfect for canyon carving at high lean angles. It's wasted on flat land driving until you have to make that cross town drive on I95 and it starts to rain for the first time in weeks. You see the sheen on top of the road and think I'm going to die. However you find that your firmly planted and able to feel confident on the wet slippery roads.There are other cruiser tires that promise longer life but my fellow riders have not found them in the dual compound tires like the Commander II.Nothing I have seen grips or stick like this cruiser tire so I'm happy to just change them every 7000 miles and ride on.
