Default Dunlops
I've been running Dunlop Elite 3s on the bike since I bought it.
I'm happy with them, and I need another new one.
They don't seem to be very available any more.
I keep seeing American Elite , and Elite 4.
Anyone have experience with these, any good , comparable etc?

Thanks

That's about what I got from the elite 3s as well.

A fella I ride with went with Elite 4's on a Gold Wing.

He got back from a 4k trip awhile back and mentioned they did fine. Rain and all

been running the American Elites now for a few years and am happy with them, no noticeable difference between them and the E3's really. if you can get them don't waist time, my indy guy has a hard time getting any tires at the moment.

I put a set of American elites on my fxr in June. Theyre at just over 10k and have plenty of meat left. I've ridden through torrential downpours, hot deserts and cold mountain passes with them and have no complaints.
