I got my Dunlop Elite 4's installed today.
Initial impressions:
- They don't follow grooves in the road as bad as the Scorchers (rode over some on the way home from the shop)
- Aspect ratio feels good (turn-in was just a touch harder...barely noticeable)
- They feel a bit more stable. This may be because they are radials.

I'll report back after I've drug them through the rain a few times.

I thought it was worth adding to this...
Today I headed up to a job site up in Dayton via St Rt 35 near Xenia and went around a turn that is nothing but grooved pavement for traction (those of you from that area undoubtedly know what turn I am talking about). These Dunlop Elite's didn't track the grooves hardly at all. It was the smoothest I've went around that turn on any bike/tire combo.

Hey Hunt,
thanks for all the info. How many miles did you get on the original scorchers?

I had 7,700 miles on them and the rear was pretty much slick down the center. I was down to the wear bars around 6,000 miles or so. I ride a lot of interstate miles, so I always grind the center flat. The front still looked pretty good.

Ok Hunt thanks! Gives me a guide and interest in the E-4’s. I’m around 3700 miles and counting. Safe travels!
