Default A positive post............

I bought a set (front and rear) of the Dunlop Elite 3's this last week and had them installed this past weekend. What a difference they made, over stock tires. We have several re-paving jobs going on around here where they 'groove' the road surface so that the new material will stick. My old tires would 'follow' those grooves.....these new tires dont. They seem to corner better also.
I am quite pleased and thought I would pass this on if anyone had been thinking of buying them.

BTW, I ride an 06 EGC.

I love my Elite 3's. On my second set now, and I'm very pleased. Great buys on them as well on the net. Last set less that $206 including shipping. Pretty good deal!!

What size are you running? I didn't think the Elite 3s were load rated for the touring bikes. Bigskyhd what kind of mileage did you get out of the 1st set?
