Agreed, I have mates who run Avons and love em. Pity they dont make them in the 09 sizes.

With the exception of the chopping front tire issue, I ran the Dunlop 407 for 16,500 miles, with 3/32 left, it was warranteed 100%... At 17,250 miles, my factory rear dunlop found a nail(I really don't know haw that happened
)I have the tire and wheel warranty, But it still had 5/32 tread left on that one....How do all of you burn through tires so quickly? I'm not that guy doing burnouts but I don't ride like a sissy either. I think I'm going to stick with the Dunlops...

kstang71....Jerry from Odessa....HD sure don't want to address the rear tire issue I am having with the rear tire on my 09 RKC.....We talked before on this one...But I did call Dunlop and they told me to bring it to the dealer and have them call Dunlop...So, maybe there is a problem....I have about 17+k on the rear....just shouldn't be cupping like they are....Jerry

So what is the problem with running Bias ply instead of Radials? EIII's on My 07 and they run fine, even when i had a radial up front.

How do they not make them in 09 sizes? Though, I did change out the wheels on my 2010. Wierd...

Dunno really, just the idea of bias ply seems weird. Its a motorcycle not a truck. There hasnt been a sports car made with bias ply tires since like 1973....
