There are still some American Elite fronts in the system, and you can now order the new American Elite 2 rear, so you can order your dual compound tires

If you can find them and the price is right get them and put em up in the garage till you need them. I've started to do that with my bikes.. Keeping sets of spares because the the price is still good and soon I'm sure will go up.. Like everything else...

LOL, "false economy..."
When it's time to get consumables, then it's time.
Don't ride on tires that are 5+ years old.
(Trackday tires, it's <1 year old with no heat cycles...)

I like the Metzeler ME888 on my 2019 FLHTP. I get 15k+ on the rears. The Metzler CruiseTec is a dual compound tire that is rated the same as the M888 load capacity.
I watch the ME888, CruiseTec and AE tires for sales and buy them then. I just put on new tires so I have about 9-10 months before I will be at 15k miles. So I have time to shop for sales.

Thanks for your reply, the fronts are no where. The rear is available but not fronts, And if I found one it would probably be at least two years old so I might as well look at something totally different I'm very interested for the Avon cobra Chrome in my sizes . I wish they were Multi compound rear, but there's not allot of choices for my ride. I like matched series sets ( front and rear ) and manufactured tires the front tire sets up for the rear I believe
