Jimmy,,,go to [url]www.tiresunlimited.com. They have the best tire prices,and fast shipping.If you have a problem they will take care of it,fast. I've ran 2 set's of D'3's on my 2001 Electra Glide.They are great in water,and they don't seem to want to pop out from under you on road grate's,or when you have to get on a gravel road somewhere.

You should give these Dunlops a check. The Elite 3's are way different than the crappy D401/402s that come with the bikes. So far I hear they last longer than the Metz too.

Metzlers WILL skunk the OEM Dunlops... but the Elite 3;s are actually as grippy as the 880's, and wear longer. I swaped out my Metz, for the E-3's and am happy

To the OP.
Tire prices change rapidly... google Dunlop Elite 3 and do your own, up to date seach. Last time I looked... Denis Kirk had the lowest prices AND free shipping...
