We never really talked brands. I wanted radials and that was his answer.

I'm on my second rear, first front. The Michelin's seem to get much better mileage than the Dunslops.

I have the Michelins, front and rear, big improvement over the Dunlops. I'm using the stock sizes.

I run Michelins on all my over the road trucks and they are 1/3-1/2 more expensive but I get TWICE the mileage on them as any other brand. I cant wait to put them on my 08.

E3's Great deal, To my door $176.98 from Jake Wilson
Front MT90B16
Rear MU90B16

Finally after only 7000 miles, I got them roaring, cupping Michelins off. Great for the first 4000 and then alot of noise.

They were great up until 4000, and then it sounded like all the bearing was going out. Every time we stopped the people behind me would ask what that noise was coming from my bike, they could even hear it over my Rinehart’s. It was quiet when you went straight, but when you laid it down it the curve she came alive......
