I have a set of American Elites that have 17,000 miles on them and will probably go to 20,000. I am planning on installing a new set of American Elites at that time due to cost and additional mileage. No issues with handling either.

I have been running them as well and will continue to do so.Have gone through 3 or 4 sets on one of my Road kings..Sure one front tire started to cup at 13,000 miles but hay..Nothing comes close to wearing so well..I love these tires..

I just got rid of the factory Dunlops and put on Michelin Commander II's. Handling is better, they seem to grip better, dry at least, haven't had them in the rain. And I no longer get the snake walking I had with the Dunlops. If the wear turns out to be good, I will use them again.
