Default Replacing Dunlop SE180
What would be a good replacement for the Dunlop SE180/60B17? HD is discontinuing this tire as of 2010. Looked at new catalog and there wasn't any replacement. Avon, Metzler, Bridgestone??????

Thats what I replaced my 180 with 2 tire changes ago,, Its a great tire.
I got 7k on the 180, 14k on the first 170, and now I'm at 3k on my second 170.

However all that being said, I really doubt that Dunlop discontinued the 180
Its been way too popular of a tire for them. Also some of Dunlops sites dont list the tires that are especially made for Harley.
I know my Indy here in Houston has them.

You could look at the Pirelli Night Dragon 180/60HB-17

That is strange, since it is now the OEM tire on several models. I just ordered one yesterday from Latus HD and the order shipped the same day.

I agree with the earlier suggestion of Pirelli Night Dragon. Installed a set on a Street Glide. Great tires so far.

Look at the 2010 HD catalog. There is no SE180 available. They still have stock now. But don't plan on it later....
