I have original tires on my 2018 Ultra with 12000 miles. Here is a photo of damage I found while inspecting the tires and I am ignorant as to what happened to cause this. Any help so this does not happen again?
And I know I am asking an oil type question but any opinions on Commander III or American Elites?
Commander III's have a known problem with the fronts where a vibration/buzz occurs at certain speeds. I had them, and removed them for AE's. They're a great tire. If you want more info on the CIII issue, there's a huge thread in the tire section here.
That looks like a cracking good the tyre to me. Not bad miles from it, dont think I have got that much out of a tyre. Good catch on seeing that before a blow out.
if you are not down to the wear bars yet, the Dunlop warranty says that you should get a tire pro-rated at 50%, not including labor charges. i'd get with your service department and see if they'll help you out, if you want to go with another stock tire.
I have been running the American Elites, but with the free install at dealer I went back to original Dunlops. They are the same tire construction with a different tread pattern. I got 20,000 miles from the original set of Dunlop’s.
