Default Elite 4

Has anyone run a Dunlop Elite 4 on their bagger? I don't see it in 180/65-16. Closest is 180/60-16. Shouldn't be enough difference in size to matter, or would it?

It might cause your speedo to be off by a tiny bit, but if you have a good programmer, you can correct it.

Mathematically it would be ~3/4" taller overall. I'd suspect you'd be just fine fitment wise, do long as you're not slammed way down.

Were you wanting to try a radial tire?

Just looking for a little more mileage out of my tires. Haven't really heard much about the E4. Just curious and bored cuz it's too warm to ice fish and too cold too go for a long ride!
