If you're talking to me, I meant the American Elite. Shinkos are made is S. Korea.

Heads up folks! J&P Cycles is having a $50.

Buy a set of two Dunlop American Elite, Sportmax Q3, or Elite 3 tires for a $50 rebate!

http://www.jpcycles.com/rebates/dunlop-elite-2015-03

Free shipping. Use code 3BFS Free shipping ends 3-16

All sales receipts or invoices for eligible Dunlop American Elite, Sportmax Q3, and Elite 3 tires must be dated between 3/1/15 and 4/30/15 and postmarked by 5/15/15.

Just in time for me. Think I'll try me some of these.

I just put a set of the new American Elites on my '12 Ultra. I got 13K on the rear OEM tire, and expect to get 15K+ on the AE tires. Obviously my OEM tires were worn, but these new AE feel great!

My memory may be off a few years, but I first used AE tires on my 1980 FXS (1985ish?)... I'm sure the design/formulation has changed over the years, but they were stellar back then too...

I've been a fan of AE for many years....

I used to run with the Elite 3 front and rear. Installed the new American Elite on the rear with my last change. Awesome handling. Definitely will purchase again. JR
