After looking on line at the motorcycle super store and a couple other sites I'm thinking the 491 Dunlap Elite II's might be a good tire.

Aren't they the ones with raised white letters? I wouldn't want that, I like blackwalls.

Have 4000 + miles on my MT66 tires still about half tread left they do'nt seem to handle or bite wet roads as good as the Metzlers I had before . But $63 compared to $180 was the selling point on them .

I like my Metzler 880's but I heard they were having some manufacturing issues a little while back. The have been great compared to my old Dunlops.
