Default Ultra touring tires

I have been pouring through all the threads trying to determine the best available tire to replace my stock Dunlop 402's. I can get a new set delivered for $265.00. Are their better options out there for a 2008 EG Classic? The Dunlop American Elite sounds like the ultimate tire but my size isnt available.Looking for long wear and better handling. Any suggestions? I value your opinions and I love this website.

Stick with ME 880 Metzlers.... (pardon the pun). Especially with all the hills and curves in your area. They wear a little faster, but you will wear faster skidd'in down the blacktop on a less grippy tire.

I have two E3s showing up in the morning and putting them on my 06 Ultra. Shipped to my door for $227 from Dennis Kirk.

E3's. I get 2x's the mileage 15000+ vs 7500 with the 402's. Check Jake Wilson. Free shipping.

Ride safe.
