So I have noticed that my Metzler me888 150/80r17 is starting to wear strangely (cupping on one side on the tire) and is causing some vibrations in my front end. Decided to swap the tire out for a different manufacturer but there aren't exactly a ton of options for the 150/80r17. Is there a decent tire that someone has any recommendations for?

I currently have a Shinko on my R3 and about to replace it with another one. Of all the tires I tried on my Roadster I preferred the Dunlop Elite.
@1olbull had a list of options here...

You can also run a 140 tyer which gives you better handling in the corners.
 
Depends on how you prefer to ride .
If you are a twisty lover of the hoon, get THE BEST TIRES possible.
If you never push the limits of the Rocket, avoid weather, and cost is primary then anything that fits will suffice.
