I'm interested too. I am thinking avon because I may go to a custom size, but the OEM Dunlops are wearing great too. Like to hear about the Avon Cobras that are supposed to have the 15K mile guarantees.

I'm really happy with the Dunlop American Elites. I run the stock sizes. JR

I have the Avon Cobra's with WW. I have about 3K miles on them and it's been great so far. Very grippy in both wet and dry roads. I ride to FL a couple times a year and run into varying road conditions and wet weather. These handle nicely. I have the stock 16" in rear and a 21" front.

Went with the Avon Cobra 150/80-16 on the rear of my 2008 FLHX. Fits, grips and looks way better than the MU 402 Dunlop. Clears belt fine. Rides smooth and does have that 15k mileage warranty.

+1 here...and the Dunlop American Elite is one of the only motorcycle tires made in the U.S.A.
