Default Dunlop Elite 3 tires on Softail?
I'm getting tired of changing tires every friggin' 5-7,000 miles. These Dunlop Elite 3s are getting great reviews in terms of longevity and handling. Mostly, touring bikes, though. Anybody riding a softail have experience with these tires?

The other option is the Michelin Commander II's. But they only come in select sizes.

I'm glad to hear their available for the softail. I ran them on my FLHTC and just loved them. Now I have a Heritage classic.
