Best wear.
This is the 3rd Dunlop I've had on my bike, including the original, I've had Michelons, and Metzlers, as well, all handle about the same, dry or wet, but the Dunlop lasts 3-4 thousand km longer, I guess it's the tire I will use from now on.

American Elite
This is my 3rd set of Dunlop American Elite and have been extremely impressed by the quality of this tire. I would not have it any other way but to have these on my 16 Electra Glide ultra Limited

Replacement Tires
Bought this to replace the Dunlop Harley Tire, I was told they are the same compound, just a different tread pattern and it does not say Harley on them. I hope to get as close of the same mileage as my others at 52,000kms.

Dunlop American Elite Harley-Davidson Front Tire
This is the third Dunlop I've purchased, I tried the Michelon Commander II, twice, I also tried the Metzler M888, the Dunlop gives me the best mileage, and I've found no real performance difference in any of them.

Best buy on Dunlop Tires
i purchased this about 4 weeks ago and had it installed at a shop and have not been disappointed. saved about 150 dollars by buying it through Canada's motorcycle versus a Harley dealer

Hi. Does this tire need an inner tube? It’s been suggested to us by a mechanic that it does. Thanks.
Depends I have a 2013 road King with mag wheels so I don't need an inner tube, however if you have spoke wheels you need an inner tube. I always have bikes with solid (mag) wheels as it's easier to make on the road tire repairs.
