Great Handling Restored
Just got back from a 2 hour ride on my new rear tire, the firstreplacement tire (Dunlop 402) at 10,000 mileson my 2007 Street Glide. I had forgotten how nimble and quick the handling was until I was back on a round tire profile instead of the worn flat profile of a well worn tire. The front tire looks like it will last through 2 rear tires but will see how it goes.
Feeling like your bike has lost some of its handling? Check your tires. Mine feels like a new bike!

Wait 'till you try Metzlers or Avons. Then you will see a big difference.

Now that Michelin is making Harley tires, what do you guys think of them?
