I'm running a 160/80/16 Metzeler ME 880 on the rear. It's listed as an upgrade by Metzeler for this bike. I have 15,000 miles on it right now, and it still has 3/32 tread left in the middle. I'm running 32 psi in it, since the recommended 36 was too much for my solo riding. I have the stock size, 130/90/16 in the front, running 30 psi. An added benefit of the tire upgrade, is that the speedo is much closer to reality. Right now, with the tire worn down by 5/32 from new, my speedo is only off 2 mph across the entire range. I have monitored the tread depth every 1000 miles since the tire was new, and I am quite happy with the results. I've been running the marathons for more than 30 years on various H-Ds and the Drifter is no exception to the rule.
