I switched to E3's on my last tire change. I am not impressed so on my next rotation, I will be going back to stock D402's. Besides with a dealer on every corner, getting a matching replacement D402 should a tire problem arise is great. I don't like the idea of mixing tires on any of my vehicles.

For your scoot being an 09 the Elite 3 is not an option. It would be American Elites. I'm happy with my E3's. I've thought about trying the Commander II sometime along.

I have the 880's, but I'm a little more limited with selections having WWW's. I like them but it looks like the back tire has worn quicker than I anticipated.....and Im not a "spirited" rider.

I swapped out the stock Dunlops on my Road King for the E3's at about 12k miles and now have almost 25k miles and plenty of tread left. So, I like the tread life on the Dunlops over some Michelins I tried 4-5 years ago, only got about 8k out of them.
