I love the way the EIII handles in all conditions and most of my pleasure riding is in the twisties but I am getting nowhere near the mileage some are claiming and claimed in past threads. I went with them a few years ago because of the claims of better handling/mileage as the stock 402 was same as Captains at 4-5k. I am still lucky to get 8k out of a rear. Front will need replaced soon with about 15k on it.

UHH, This rates with the elusive 5th gear whine. The Indy always speak the truth.
