AWESOME ride! The tires ride OVER the road instead of tracking in every little groove or tar snake you roll over. Night and day difference between the E3's and the 402's. I'll NEVER buy 402's again!

When my 407's get down to the nitty gritty Ill get the elite 3's. I have a long way to go. Im at 1300 miles on my bike. No problems with them yet. Im not sure if the dealers will match or not. Ill try when its time.

The tires for the Ultra are bias...I just replaced the factory 402s with E3s and like them.

Below are the sizes needed:

Front - MT-90B16
Rear - MU- 90B16

Only available in Blackwall...Best price I found was denniskirk.com

Dennis Kirk cheaper that 190 delivered both front and rear? That is what jakewilson.com was. I will have to check Dennis Kirk next time.

I had E3s on a Goldwing..I wouldn't use them again if you gave to me free.They hate to turn...marginal at best in the wet...and they make alot of noise.
The 402s that came on my Ultra have impressed me so far..At 14k they are wearing well and provide a smooth,predictable ride...

Just had EIII's installed front and rear and she feels like a new bike. They are confidence inspiring in the turns. If anybody is getting ready to change out their OEM Dunlops, I strongly recommend the new Dunlop Elite 3's.

I went for the extended mileage of the E3 but now I'm sold on the ride quality and don't care about how many miles I get.

Just Back from Maggie Valley riding everything they had in the area including the Dragon .. The E3's were a pleasure to ride the twisties far better than the Stock 402's had used up there the last time.. Was rain too and still got great traction.. Highly recommend the E3's would never go back to the Tar snake tracking 402's
