Running the American Elite on the rear, very happy so far with about 15,000 kilometres on it. Just picked up an AE for the front (still on the OEM but its time to replace) Also picked up another AE rear so I have it here when needed. Good tires.

Yes, good grip in wet. Ran them on the Dragon in the light rain. 15000 plus on them and still can get a little more.

I've had them for a year. I'm very happy. I'm ready to replace the rear now at 18,000. The front can wait awhile. I'll be putting them on again
