RE: Harley Davidson announces new tire supplier.

Why is it that many tires are not radial, and are the ones from Michelin radial?

RE: Harley Davidson announces new tire supplier.

Does anyone know the Michelin part number for a rear tire for the 05 Ultra Classic - has thin white wall stripe?

Seems strange to make an announcement about REPLACEMENT tires. I'll bet a lot of dealers already sold Michelins, as well as other brands, in their shops.
Dunlops are excellent tires, especially the 491s.

Its about time, I hate Dunlops, but thats what the dealer put on the RK when I bought it. I'm tryin to wear them out!!

You have a two year old bike and are still trying to wear out the original tires? Sounds like the OEM Dunlops are good tires. I have no complaints about mine.

RE: Harley Davidson announces new tire supplier.

Hope they aren't as expensive as the Pilot Sports on my Crossfire. Out of curiosity I priced them out online, holy crap, $304.00 for each rear and just over $200.00 for each front.[sm=jawdrop.gif]
