I just put the elite on rear at 10k service.&nbsp\\; Glad to hear it is getting good reviews.&nbsp\\;

RE: Dunlop Elite III's

&nbsp\\; I put elite III on back in april and like the way they handle much better than the 402's as long as they last as long as the 402 I will be happy&nbsp\\;

RE: Dunlop Elite III'

I don't think the numbers seem backwards. I am pretty sure a new rear starts out with deeper tread than the fronts.

Thank you very much.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; This feedback is important to me in my current review.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; One question though... "stiffer" comapred to what?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The other Dunlops or something else?

Thanks for the question.&nbsp\\; Yes the Dunlop 402s, it felt like the walls were stiffer, IMO.

RE: Dunlop Elite III'

How do they compare with Metzler 880's I wonder,been on Metz a long time now but not getting the miles out of the Brazilian Metz that I did out of the German ones.
I do really like the way the handle though and would hate to give that up.
