Last week I made a thread about Americanmototires.com praising how great their customer service was. Well...I got my new tires today and they sent me a Dunlop 407 instead of the American Elite I ordered for the rear. I contacted them and am waiting to hear back from them. My question is this...I was happy with the mileage I got out of my stock 407 (2010 RGC). Should I just install this tire and run it with the Dunlop Elite 3 on the front or should I send it back? Anyone else run the stock rear with the Elite 3 up front?

 

You want to run a like tires front & rear not mix and match.

 

The 407 is a great tire. My only caution would be is one radial and one bias. I am not speaking from personal experience but that of a friend that got 14k out of a 407. It was terribly cupped. BTW, I would have ordered the AE II from the reviews I have read. JMHO.
