Exclamation Bagger tires

I'm pretty sure I've seen in and around the Forum the scarcity of tires for the touring bikes around the country. The local independent parts and accessory store near me here in Denver just got a shipment of Dunlop American Elites. 23 sets. Well 22 sets since I just bought mine. The sizes I got are 130/80-17 and 180/65-16.
These seem to be fresh builds with dates of 35th week and 40th week of '21.

FYI, but last time I checked, Warehouse Power Sports off Arapahoes and I25 in the Denver area still had Michelin Commander II's in stock.

Interesting. That would be just north of Performance. Never heard of it before this.

I drove six hours round trip to pick up a set of those AE’s a few weeks back.

Just looked at their site, no tires from either Dunlop or Michelin in my sizes.

Good, hopefully the one I have on BO at Dennis Kirk will ship, too. I do have brand new AEs on the bike, I just wanted to hoard one for next year. I plan to lay down some serious mileage for a month long ride...

I've always had good luck with DK. But 2 months ago I needed an Elite 4 front tire and even they were back ordered. But only 2 or 3 weeks. I now have it installed on my bike. And the tire was very fresh, made just a couple of weeks before I got it.
