I love my E3's. They handle much better and last much longer.

when my new glide needs tires, i will get e3s. they do have the appropriate sizes in radials, or at least close enough.

Almost anything BUT 402s. You get what you pay for with the lowest bidder.

Well I'm pretty sure I made up my mind on the E3's. Thanks for all the suggestions. Now another question. Should I mail order them and have an Indy do the install?

Thanks

402s!!! My 08 FLHT got 21,000 on the original rear, 22,000 on the second , I'm at 54,000 miles on the third and have more then 5/32 on it. I'm still on the original front with 4/32 on it and will probley change it when I change the rear around 60,000 mi. I'll not run anything but 402s, If it ain't broke, Don't fix it.

the e111 are good tires handle way better than the 402"s 4000 miles on em now but.... and its not a deal breaker for me, they are noisy and starting to show some slight cupping.
