18000 miles on a rear tire?

Post by TXHawg »

Dunlop introduces new Elite 4. Longer life, better grip, less noise and better wet performance than Elite 3's. It sounds too good to be true.

Check the sizes. The Elite 4 is limited to about 6 options. None of which fit my 2011 CVO. 180/55-18.

Answer: When I come to a stop with this one, put my feet down and can't hold it up!

I'll let you know after I take the one I have on order for my front wheel. Taking it Orlando and back over the 4th of July weekend.

Just a good 15 K miles on a rear tire would be a great improvement. And by good I mean good enough to ride in rain with grip.
