What is choice number 3?

What are you looking for in a tire, Longevity or traction?

Just put a set on my bike and they look and handle great. I only have a few hundred miles on them so I can't comment on the tread life yet. $268 for the pair delivered to your door @ Newcastle Harley. I caught mine for $245 OTD on Black Friday at my local harley store. The poor mileage I was getting on the Dunlops prompted the change.

I've got only a couple hundred miles on my Dunlop American Elites. Handle great! The stock Dunlops handled great until they were past their seviceable life span. I wore the rear down to a slick and it still rode and handled well.
