Dunlop on my Tour Glide

Avon on my Sportster

 

 

Its not just a brand v brand thing. Dunlop makes a variety of tires and so does Avon. Where I live, Avon tends to carry a $ubstantial premium over Dunlop. My OEM Dunlops just stank. I'm happy as a clam with my E3's. Same brand but entirely different tires. I like it that my Dunlops are American made.

 

 

American elites on a batwing will be dancy and will wear out early,, I burned one up in 4200 miles on an 07 EGC E3s give the best mileage (as do CIIs) but don't corner as well. E4s are pretty good balance between cornering and life.. I think these will be the bagger tire I use for early TC baggers with 16x3 inch rims. Avons are good but last only as long as the elites and turn to snot on tar snakes when ambient temps get much above 100F. Way worse than any other tire. On an 06 FLHTCU, I'd try the E4s if you like good handling. E3s or CIIs if you are more of a tourer.

 

I run the Avons on my Dyna, It's a toss up between the Avons and the Dunlops for the FL's.

 

how do you like the v&h pipes ?

 

I don't like them. Too quiet with baffles, sound like crap without baffles.
