Theres quite a few threads on here about these tires. and the comparisons between otheres too.
I bought them about a week ago for my 07 road king. So far.....300 miles of use, and not one complaint.

Got over 600 miles on mine. No complaints so far. Handles very good in the curves, doesn't seem to track as well as the EIII on the Interstate, but could just be me. Something to mention but not to gripe about. Wouldn't keep me from buying another one.

Thanks J
I just wanted to add something regarding these tires...I am reading that it was reinvented in Jan 2012 with new all chemistry for wet weather and square bead....it is used on one of the Indian models.....some sites are saying its a 25K mile tire
I just read some of these threads about "Michelin Tires" and the time frame does not apply to the "NEW" tire......I am sure that J would be on the new skins if he is 300 miles
Again sorry for trying to beat a potential dead horse

Inscribed on the edge of the SideWall: Made in Thailand! I am returning mine to MotorCycle SuperStore with a No Thank You Note Attached. Dunlops are made in Buffalo NY. Its time we americans stand our ground on Outsourcing! A hour down the Road from here is a Closed down Michelin Plant with over 1000 workers out of a Job.

I just put a set on my Road King about 2 or 3 weeks ago, got about 3000 miles on them now.
No complaints, they have been good on the highway, and handled the Dragon, Devils Whip, DiamondBack and the BRP very well.
Ran them on some wet roads too, no complaints there either.
I'm anxious to see how many miles they last.

Do they make a rear 170 rear that fits a 17" rim? Having a bitch of a time finding one for my 08 screamineagle road king. Dealer wants $1000 bucks for new front, rear, and break pads ouch. Tech at J&P said that I should stay with original equipment, and have the dealer do the brakes in case they have to be bled (abs). (some kinda special device needed) Only the dealership has this and it is licensed by HD. Anybody else out there have this dilemma? I have just over 18.000 miles on these tires, so not I'm complaining I'm just cheap.
