Question 02 Road King front tire

Need to replace the front tire on my road king. Have a lot of grooved pavement where I ride that makes the front end feel loose. Any suggestions for tires to combat this condition would be appreciated.

You would be saprized a lot of that wobble from grooved roads is also due to rear tire .
When you are ready for a new tire front or rear i would recomend the Dunlop E3 .
A much better tire then the stock and often cheaper ,it will handle much better on grooved roads .
This tire will last longer also .

Check out prices at Jake Wilson usually the cheapest but right now motorcycle super store has 40% of some tires .

Dunlop E3 or the Michelin Commander II. Absolutely love these tires, and they both will last longer then the stock Dunlops.

I have used both on my RK, and we also have a lot of groved roads. Both of these tires were far superior to the stock Dunlop 402's.

For the best ride and handling buy the matching rear tire while you are at it. It too can follow the road groves.

Default Road king Tire

Thanks for the advice. I will check out both tires. Rear is newer than front and doesn't need replacing.
