Time for tires
I’ve been diligent with keeping the stock Dunlops properly inflated, even with temperature changes, and they’re still cupping at less than 20k miles. So I’m gonna replace them and do wheels at the same time. Haven’t decided yet if I wanna get the stock wheels powder coated black or chromed, or if I wanna get new ones. What I would like from you guys is to help me pick new tires. I have it narrowed down to these three based on reading reviews and posts.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

That's quite an open ended question. Depends on your money restraints, and your preferences, Personally, I don't want anyone's opinion on my bike mods, that's the fun of it. Good luck though.

voted for AEs, been thru a few sets now and have no complaints. they come with 1/32nd deeper tread to start with so last longer..and if you find yourself with needing a replacement on the road HD dealerships stock them

Michelin Commander ll's.Night and day difference in handling compared to Dunlop.Never had any cup.Next time I buy a new bike I will have them pull the Dunlop's and install Michelin Commanders.All My Dunlop's have cupped before 18,000 miles.

Im not sure how its open ended. Which tire would you choose? And as far as I know, the price difference between them isnt so wide as to bring money constraints into the equation.

How are they for grip and mileage? Thats a good point about them be more readily available at dealers.

Thanks for your input. Yeah, Im never going back to these shitty Dunlops again. Maybe AE, but not the ones that come stock.
