Tires

looking for new tires this winter for my 11 electra glide.

What are you guys running on your touring bikes and how many miles are you getting out of them. Even though I’ve had good luck going with the Harley tires from the dealer I know there are better options out there.

Thanks

American Elites... Just make sure you keep the pressure right 40 rear and 38 front if not they will cup.

I get 15k rear and 20k front.

Michelin Commander II. You'll get lots of opinions, I think the American Elites and the CII will be the top choices. You won't g wrong with either. YMMV

Every major tyre brand makes suitable tyres and every one of them has their fans in here! Draw up a list, pick up a pin, close your eyes and......

Yep, car tire. I don't scrape my knees on the twisties so I don't use the tread on the side walls.

I've used the stock Dunlops, Michelin CII's, and am now using Avon Cobras. The Avon's I like the best so far for grip (both dry and wet conditions) but only have around 7K miles on them. They seem to be wearing nice but not sure how many miles I will get on them.
