Dunlop Elite III's
« on: April 28, 2007, 05:32:29 PM »
What's everybody paying for these in their area?

 I need a new rear tire on LD and might as well swap over to the Elite III

Thanks for the link dude

I've heard prices are all over the map on the Elite III's for some reason. Are they hard to get- - re: backordered ?

I waited almost a month for the 160 rear tire.  Back order was attributed to earlier Dunlop strike.  You can call and see if they are in stock before you order.

B B,

I don't know what price they are in our area but they are available.  I saw a set today while I was at our local tire store waiting on my bike.

ronayerssuzuki.com does pretty well with tire pricing. $10 shipping.

Ebay of all places usually has an ad or two from someone legit selling at a decent price.

I just had my HD dealer install my pair of Dunlop Elite III's and first impression

I like them as they seem to have a little firmer bite and don't seem to follow the cracks in highway

Plan to put some rounds on the scooter in the next few weeks and will keep everyone posted

So far I give them a  :2vrolijk_21:

not sure how to reply however, for me I wanted the same type of tread so I switched both out at 7,500 miles

Whats the load rating in pounds for the rear tire?  Been looking at a set of Michelin Commanders but cann't find a rating for a rear tire,  will wait for a review on the elite III.

BB - I have bought more than a few tires from this company - they stock most of the Dunlops, etc. & are competively priced:

Dunlop Elite 3 Touring Rear
 

MU90B16  78H  BW  4079-95  3.00  25.72  5.57  11/32  930 @ 40

The rear tire of the Elite 3 is just a little narrower than the OE HD Dunlop D402
However, The Elite 3 has a higher load rating 930 vs. 908

Thanks for the info.  Looks like they don't make a replacement for the MU85B16 that comes on the rear of the newer bikes.  The MU90B16 is a 130mm tire the MU85B16 is a 140mm thats why its a little narrower.
