I am having real trouble finding tires (just like everything else it seems), and I'm not sure about all of these different brands that are available. the reason I need help is I bought Metzeler me888 after looking at a ton of reviews and 1000 miles into it the back tire had literally chunks out it and the front has divots! I was 300 miles from home and the local Harley shop had a Dunlop back tire but I cannot find a front. It got me home but I need a front badly and am looking at the Bridgestone H50. I've had commander 2s and not a big fan but have heard good thing about the 3s but they are also nowhere to be found. I have a 16 Road Glide Ultra and we ride hard so I could use some help.

Just 3 with them on hand They are the Dunlop AE upgrade from the standard Dunlop
They are out there just nee to look and not give up

 

I wouldn’t recommend Michelin C3 front of touring bike size. There is a known defect causing vibration.

 

 

When I picked up a nail in my rear Commander 3 earlier this year, I wanted to go to Dunlop American Elites.
I had enough of the C3 vibration…. Dealer couldn’t source either the front or the rear.
They had pallets of OEM Dunlops there. Not a fan of the OEM…but, in today’s world…lots of stuff simply isn’t being made, being shipped or being stocked.
It’s across every industry out there, from restaurants, to car and bike dealerships….

 

Me either, but we leave next week for a 37 day, 9000 mile trip to Maine and back and with not finding any AE's anywhere, I went with the OEM on the front for this time. Got the AE rear though. Took the set for a 200 mile test ride yesterday and they handle/play well together. I'll go back to full AE's next time.

 

Ordered a Dunlop AE on the 9th email say it will be delivered today 130/70 18 For 2020 RGL. Coming from a Power Sports dealer. HD is off my shopping lists.

 

After reading post and talking to friends, I ordered a set front and rear Dunlap AL for my bike back in November got them two days later from J&P. They are sitting in my garage now for when I need them.

 

Some have reported buying new tires and getting ones dated 4 or 5 years old.. My new Dunlop AE showed up date code 2821 so it is a current production.

 

They still use rubber tires in 2821?!? Wow!
Talk about pre-order……
I thought we be into teleportation machines, with flames painted on the sides.
