Just a safe bet with the restrictions they listed.

Does "no hard cornering" infer to only travel in a straight line?

South Side road to Palomar.. IIRC it's only 12-14 miles.. By the time you are at the top the tires are broken in..

Just replaced my AE rear to another AE rear on my SGS last Friday. I also have them on my Heritage. This is the 4th rear on my SGS I think, and I've got about 18k out of each of them. Could have gone more, but they get so cupped the howling in corners is annoying. Great rain tire also.

Like two others have already stated, with my previous set of AE's the rear tire cupped and howled in the curves. The dealer told me that low tire pressure could cause them to cup?? I put another set of AE's on the bike and no issue so far....

What pressure are you guys running on yours? I'm hoping to install a set on my '99 this weekend. I'm used to running Metzeler 888s.
