Thumbs up Best tires by far!!!!

Got my tires on, Elite 3...front and back...160 on the back. On a 08 ultra, and went for a ride today and I'm so glad I listen to you guys, you told me how well they made the bike handle and the groves in the road I wouldn't feel and the bike turns quicker.....I just can't say enough about them, I'll never run anything else............thanks to all that guided me in that direction......smokey mountains next week....I'm ready!

Told ya! And the 160 fit without issue too. For those asking, it's a little wider than the original one but not by much.

Smokey Mountains? dang I'm jealous....

The only drawback in the E3's is that they only come in a blackwall and I want to run the thin whitewall on mine. I think it looks better on my bike.
