Got Bridgestone Spitfire IIs on my front and rear and so far, they have been awesome.

I have matching Bridgestone Excedras on my front and rear. I've been very satisfied so far. Comfortable ride, good grip in both dry and wet conditions. I only have @ 4000 miles on them so far with almost no noticeable wear yet. According to Bridgestone they were specifically engineered for metric cruisers. Whatever that means. Lol

In my opinion, I find that the Metz 880's offer a high degree of confidence for traction, grip and mileage from start to finish. I'm very confident of the grip from the first mile to the very, very last mile. I've had other brand tires and have not felt that confidence all the way through the tread.
