With all the different tires available now for our bikes I was just wondering if any of you have had good - bad - or indifferent experience with tires other than the Dunlop HD standard tires?  I have read a few threads where some of you were trying different tires on your bikes and would love to get some feedback on other brands before I replace my Dunlops.

Marty, no matter what definitely get the round ones.  


Ok, smart ass mode = off.


I've had good experience with the E3 tires.  Better wet road handling than the stock Dunlops.  No great improvement in tire life but a little better handling.  My next set I'm trying the Michelin Commanders.

They make round ones now  and what is that soter black material they use now

Seriously Don isn't the E3 a goldwing tire and did you really use one??

E3 is round and doesn't have a whitewall.  Aside from that I'll share with wingers.  Hey, they ride too.

Another vote for E3s. I went from Metz to E3 and got a huge difference in tire life... from about 6k on the Metz to 10k on the E3. The handling is on a par with the Metz, much better than the OEM Dunlops for Harleys.
