I have put 5 on the rear and 4 on the front of my streetglide. They are the only tire I will buy. After 80,000 miles on them I am happy. I get good traction and they last a reasonable length of time. I buy mine online from Jake Wilson. No tax or freight and they are at my door in two days.

I recently switched to American Elites on both my Road King and Ultra at the suggestion of my indy. On dry roads, I couldn't be happier. MUCH better grip and feel than the stock tires. Smooth and don't track grooves like the stock 402's on the Road King. No howling in corners either. At least yet.
The jury is still out on wet roads. Riding down the road or in the curves they feel very secure but I feel like the rear locks up easier under breaking on the Road King especially ( no anti lock system) , but I have also had the anti lock system kick in on the rear of the Limited when wet. ( not a linked system ) It surprises me every time it's happened as I didn't feel like I was over braking.
Because of the ride when dry which is, I hope, the vast majority of my riding, I will stick with them. I just adjust my following distance a little to make sure I have plenty of room to brake.
My indy wasn't lying when he told me I would feel more secure with them. I ride pretty conservatively and thought he was kidding when he said I would start dragging my floor board because of the confidence and grip in the American Elites. I hardly ever did before but have done it a few times with the new tires on both bikes.
