What did you get for mileages? Any issues with the fronts cupping? I heard this with E3's on the front. I have one on the rear with about 8k and still looks new.

The tires are on a 2000 EG. I have not had any trouble with cupping on the front. I almost hate to say what my mileage is -- but my average is right at 20,000 on the rears and 30,000 on the fronts

I had issues with the front cupping on my E3. I changed it out when I did the rear even though the front still had plenty of tread. It was cupped bad. I check my tire pressure often. They were a good riding set of tires except for the cupping issue.

I'm running Michelin Commander 3's. now. We shall see if these are any better. as of now not much difference in the way these ride over the E3's.

I got 25k on my rear and a lot more on front. put byna beeds in both, no cupping in either tire. Just bought another pair for my 09 classic and 2 for a 08 street glide. good lasting tire.

I just yesterday had a new set of E3s put on my Ultra. So far so good, but I'll let you know what I really think of them when I get back from running the Natchez Trace first of April.

I have near 20,000 miles on my second set of E3s. Both front tires cupped enough that I had to replace them. Granted, they both got excellent life but I hate to have to replace tires with good tread left.

I'm going to try Michelins this time. I read all good reports about them but no one has said how many miles they get. Most say, "I put them on last week and so far so good". Gee, thanks.

Default American Elites
Just one more question before I order the Dunlop Elite 3s for my 2008 FLHT. I see that Dunlop makes the exact same size that is on the bike now in the American Elites. Any problem using the American Elites on my 2008

Thanks
