Tire ideas; tell me whats working for you
I'm looking for the stickiest tire for an Ultra Limited. I'm not that concerned with high mileage. I tried the high mileage tires and found they don't have the grip/traction in wet conditions. It will obviously cost me more in the long term due to having to replace sooner, but I'd still like to try a really sticky tire. Any ideas/suggestions out there?

I like Dunlop American Elite. Harder compound in the middle for longer wear when you're going straight, and a softer compound on the outsides so it's stickier when you're carving.

I don't understand why you wouldn't re-up with the Dunlops that came with the bike. For all the tire analysis in this forum, I do not recall anybody ever saying they lost grip because they were riding on Dunlops or that another tire would not have lost its grip in the same circumstance.
