Looking for something better for my night train (fxstb) than the stock dunlop 402's. Seems I wear out the skinny front tire way before the front...and I like to keep a matched set. Any suggestions?

best place for information would be the tire companies internet sites for your tire size type watch your load and width ratings. K

Metzler 880 is a good tire,rides and handles well.
The only downside Ive personally experienced is wet road adhesion isn't as good as the Dunlops

I'll look into the continentals, not too fond of the metz, besides I've got that skinny ass front tire, metz probably don't make em that size

Metz does make a couple 21's.
I have run Conties,they are cheap and work ok..usually a tire I throw on for a resale Bike.

Doz,
No help here...I could not find a decent replacement for my Night Train tires outside of the Dunlop's when I owned one either...Good luck though!
