Dunlop's website has exact dimensions of all their tires. Great for comparing your old tire to a new E3. Hight, width, tread depth, load rating, diameter, etc. Great help when choosing a tire size.

I don't need to add how much I like the E3's.

Just put a set on my 05 Ultra. Had one on the rear and it was time for a front so I got the set. $199.98 delivered from Jake Wilson and $50 for mount & balance from my local indy. Took them off and put them on the bike myself in about an hour. $250 well spent.

For the guys that mount them by hand,.....

Also a great tire, but wore out too fast for me.

Never got more than 10,000 from stock Harley Dunlops. At 30,000 a Elite 3 went on the back. Now have 46,000, and finally wore it down to where I can see the wear marks, so getting a new one on Monday, plus one for the front.

My indy charges about $120, plus $20 for mounting. I take the wheels off and bring them in. I also ran Ride On for the first time in the rear Elite 3, so that may also help the mileage, as it's always in balance.
