Checking to see if anyone has some feedback on this tire in 180/65b16 on a touring bike as I need to replace mine soon and was looking at this instead of the factory tire..

I was at NYC Auto Show and asked Dunlop Rep. about American Elite. He said they were a better tire than the HD line. I purchased a set for my 2012 SG and have had no problems for a little less money.
