Default Considered changing out my Tires

Except I've seen 24.5" truck tires more forgiving. These American elite tires are stiff. I called around the HD dealer wants $175, one Honda dealer wants $105 and another Honda dealer will do it for $35 each. I have the dyna beads and there going to fill the tires with nitrogen. Think I'll just going to let them do it.

I just got new tires. Found out that the OEM Dunlop tires Harley sells are very expensive because they have Harley Davidson on them. I went to my nearby non-Harley store and got the American Elites for a couple hundred less because they don't have Harley written on them. I really can't tell any difference between them.

My rear tire is cupping at 6K and they handle like crap. I ran Michelin Commander 2s on my Dyna for years and loved them. I just hope I can get some to fit this new Roadglide.

I bought the Dunlop AE from Jake Wilson last month. Their made in U.S. and what I wanted, the stock Dunlops did well, no cupping or any strange wear patterns. I liked them in the rain also and want to try the Elites. After reading about guys changing there own tires and YouTube has some videos thought I could do it. But the tire beads are so stiff that I'm not sure if I can get them on the wheels. Just thought I could mount them but not even going to try.
