I'm on my 4th set. They've treated me right as well. And I love getting the screamin' deals from the online vendors like Dennis Kirk.com or Ron Ayers.com.

I run the MU90 on rear and MT90 on front for "07" on some earlier model years some have had to run MT90 rears as the MU90 was to wide

If I got 7000 miles I was lucky on my 07 FLHT STD. I'm a big guy like yourself. I'm ridin a 2011 FLTRX 103 now. I'll see how many miles I get. Thanks for the info. Ride safe.

My E3 was toast at 12,400 miles while being fastidious about air pressure and almost all miles were 1-up touring. Not bad, but not as good as many others are getting. I, too, had some cupping. Currently running an Avon. Only 7,000 miles on the Avon so far. I do find it to be quieter than the E3.

I weigh 270 lbs and have never expected too much, but this is good. My first Elite 3 got about 11,000 miles. These extra miles on the latest tire include a Stugis trip and road miles like that take very little off a tire....Changing the tire today (with another E-3).
Hey Joe...Buddy of mine in Rosewood has 10000 miles on E3 on his ultra and it looks like he can go another 10000...He rides really smooth compared to me and also half my weight.
