Unhappy ?? dunlop tires

looked on the dunlop tire website and asked for information on the police tire for harleys. the answer was "available only from dealer and never to be used two up".
what kind of crap is that for an answer?

I don't understand that either, maybe you have to show your badge to get them. Are they that much better? Wouldn't think so if the won't hold up to two up. Better tires out there anyway.

It's the truth. They have a lower load rating but have thicker/harder sidewalls similer to run flats. its made to keep a tire at high speed from comming off the rim during a blow out.

Thanks, learn something new everyday here, still, not what I'd want to put on my bike. A flat is a flat, and I don't plan on chasing any bad guys on flat tires. Though they may save you from going in the ditch with a flat.
