I see Dunlop American Elite are the only WW tires available to fit a Fat Bob; anyone run these and care to comment on handling, especially tracking tar snakes and grooves? I believe these are intended for the FLH bikes. The original Dunlops on my bike weren't that great.....

I have a Road King WW tire on my front and a stock Fatbob tire on my rear. My stock front kept developing "puckering" but my rear was fine. When it happened on the replacement tire, I switched to the RK tire. 8,000 miles with no issues and improved handling. The RK front does a good job of ignoring the grooves. I might match the rear one day, but I like it as is for now. Sorry it is not in my sig pic.
