Got over 1200 miles on the same brand tires Bruce Lee rode on: Xongshens. Great tires. Great handling from -16°F to 112°F on every kind of road surface and weather conditions: Snow, rain, whatever, up to 75+ MPH on the highway, mostly 35 to 65 MPH everyday commuting and errands on the RX1E.
Not a Harley rider..... used to ride a Kawasaki Concours 14, now ride a Versys 1000 SE LT+. Too old to drag a knee any more, but still ride the twisties in a "spirited" fashion. I do a lot of multi-state tours, and ride in all sorts of weather. I tried Shinko, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, and Michelin. The Michelin Pilot Road series (now just called "road") are hands down the best for my style of riding and bike.
@@wwb7091 I love this comment so much👊🏻 a seasoned biker is always the one to give the best advice on where the rubber meets the pavement. Keep riding spirited, even if you’re done dragging your knee. Thank you so much for the comment. Thank you for watching the video and thank you for the support.👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 keep riding the many roads🤘🏻🤪
Just this last week I put a set of American Elites on my '00 Road King Classic, have Dunlop D401 on my '02 Dyna. And Avon Speedmaster 21" on the front and Avon Safety Mile 16" on the rear of my '77 FXE
Dunlop AE's on my 2014 HD Ultra Limited. Just put on my 2nd set. First set lasted 20k mis and probably could have gone to 25k. Many road trips in all weather conditions. No issues. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Dunlop AE's all day long.
2014 Harley Softail. Looking for a higher mileage tire, I switched from stock dunlop to commander2 in 2015. Commander2s rode great and pushed my mileage up to average of 20K rear and 27K front. I moved to the Commander3s in 2020. Very unsatisfied as the rear had a belt show through at less than 18K and the front vibrates at 50 MPH when the bike is not leaning. Michelin admitted to a tread pattern design flaw in their initial run of commander3 front tires which caused the vibration. They would not honor my warranty claim so I am stuck with the vibration. I have since switched to the Dunlop American Elite. They seem to ride great. Too early to tell about the mileage. Won't be going back to Michelin any time soon.
@@michaela524 All of this is amazing advice and wisdom learned from that experience. I really appreciate your comments and thank you for watching and engaging👊🏻👊🏻 Stay safe out there and I hope you have great results with the American Elites as I have👊🏻
This is my experience and opinion. Had the stock Dunlops when I bought my ‘07 CVO Ultra. They were a bitch to ride on uneven road surfaces. Especially roads that had the grooves cut into the road, prior to resurfacing. I changed to the Michelin commander series and never looked back! Reasonably priced and are perfect, even with the bike fully loaded for a three week trip with spouse on board. That, and upgrading the front and rear suspension made for predictable and stable rides for thousands of miles. The best part for me is, they last a good 50% longer than Metzler tires and do not cup. Where you at? I live in Spicewood just NW of Austin. Where do I find info on the Three Sisters ride?
@@ken2tou I agree I am not a fan of the stock Dunlop tires that Harley puts on their bikes at all. My experience has been the same as yours with the Dunlop American elites. I thought I put a link in the description below to the three sisters ride, but apparently I forgot I will do that now it will be in the description. thank you for watching the video and thank you for your comment and wisdom👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 The information on the three twisted sisters ride is now in the description and 👇 ua-cam.com/users/livebhRqJqi7iIo?si=lNpHWIBOxncdmtBe
I have always ran the Harley Dunlop tires but have just switched to a Yokohama on the rear. Yes I went to the dark side. Have not had a chance to get out on it yet. Really want to make it to the sisters but work is getting in the way of my riding.
Michies are VERY good (had them five or six times) but Pirelli and METZLER's are FAR, FAR better, but cost double or in the case of lots of Metzler's as much as twenty times what Dunlops sell for. The Metzler UU-rated radials for my 1994 GSV-500SR Suzuki 500cc two-stroke are currently $3860 a pair plus tax and S&H. Metzler sells the ONLY UU (186 MPH) speed rated tires that are DOT legal for I think six models of cycles. BTW, tires are like bananas, they and gasoline "spoil" in storage. For "on-off road" bikes, Kenda's (made in Taiwan) while ONLY tube-type, are very, very good tires.
You get a thumbs up mainly for your blue, and red, flag with the white print...

I run the Dunlop Elite 4s on my Goldwing. They run quieter, and they are “stickier” than the Bridgestones that were on the bike when I bought it.
