Question Dunlop E3s

I plan on putting on a set of E3s on my Street Glide. Should I use the stock air psi or run higher. Thanks.

After you install and ride them for a while please PM me with what you think. I am very close to having to replace tires myself on a SG. I have heard great things about the E3s.

I got em and I hate em! I put a rear on 7200 miles ago. Unfortunately I just put a new front on last week and now I look at the back and it's breaking apart. They don't handle well and I live on a dirt road wear the lack of side swiping really makes for some poor handling. Guess I stuck now till my front get worn enough for me to justify buying a new F & R at the same time. Wish I hadn't bought that godamn front! Wish Metzlers would handle the load of my Road glide. I'm back on mu old EVO cause I like the ways the Metz's handle!

Default E3's

I am on my second set. I am getting about 10,000 miles per set and I pull a trailer on most of my trips. I feel they handle as well as any tire I have tried and that include the 402's, Metzlers' and Michelin's. I am planning on staying with the E3's.

I have 10,000 on my set of E3's. I am not even near having to replace the rear yet. The only down side that I have noticed with these tires is that the 'tar snakes' in the road are slick, you feel that you may slide when you hit one in a curve. Hasn't happened, but it was scary the first time. They ride better than the 402 I replaced at 11,700 miles.

Have a set on my Road Glide 6000 mi and no problem with them. They have differant feel than the Metzlers, it took about 100mi to get use to them is all.
hope this helps.

put one on the rear of my 07 rg have about 1000 miles on it ,still have the stock tire on the front seems to handle really well and took the wiggle out of it when hitting the tar snakes,my stock rear tire was pretty stable on the tar snakes until around 5000 miles and then I started to notice the wiggle when hitting them and it got progressivley worse until I had to change it at 10000 miles it still had some tread wear left in it but I couldn't stand the ill handling any longer,I will take note with the e-3 if and when the tar snake wiggle starts but for now I am quite pleased with it .

Default E3s

Those of you running E3s, what are you using for air pressure? What the stock tires (36/36) used or something else. Thanks

CDN RG What size did you put on the rear of your 07 RG? I haven't see the same size as stock.
