Default Tire Replacement

Anyone change out the nasty Dunlop's on your 2014 Rushmore yet?

If so what did you go with? and does it handle better?

I hate these dam tires, had a bad one from the factory at only 300 miles and am still have front end handling issues that 2 dealers cannot find, so I'm thinking of swamping tires out and see if it helps, I hate too buy tires already at 600 miles but if I can't resolve this soon it will be up for sale!!!

Also does anyone else think the new bike has a rough ride, I had a 2005 ultra and it rode 10 times smoother that my 2014 limited!!!!

I also would like to know of any suspension changes anyone has made and how you like it.

Thanks
Wojo

When I test road the 14's I felt like the bike wanted to tip over, constantly fighting to keep it upright and straight. Don't think it's the tires but the way the bike was made. I would not buy a new bike after that ride.
