Default What tires are you running on your Ultra Classic

I have to replace both tires on my Ultra Classic. I am currently running the stock Dunlops and I am leaning toward the Michelin Commander series. What are you running on your bike and why?

Baby just got a new set of Dunlop Elite 3s a few days ago in preparation for little run this spring.

I put American Elites by Dunlap on my 2009. When my 2014 needs new tires it will be the American Elites again. Long wearing tire. Grips the road very well dry or wet.

FYI--you didn't mention the year of your Ultra. Prior to 2009 the Dunlop Elite 3's is an awesome tire.

2009 and newer the size changed so they revamped the Elite 3's to the American Elite.

It is a 2008 Ultra Classic. I am looking for a tire that will be good in wet and dry weather.

Stock Dunlop's cause I got a great deal on them and I like the tread pattern.

I put Michelin Commander II on my 2007 Ultra and loved the ride and responce i got from them. And unless something really changes my mind between now and lateer this year when I have to replace the rear tire on my 2013 Ann. Ultra, I'll be putting the Michelins on it as well.
