Smile Elite 3 Tires

Just a quick note to all considering or needing tires. I read every post I could find here and elsewhere. Everyone I read it seemed the Dunlop Elite 3's were at the top of the list. I had Elite 3's installed two weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! There really is a noticable difference that is uncomparable with the factory rocks. The handling and stability of the Elite 3's make riding so much more enjoyable. Oh and by the way I did put a 160 on the rear and there is plenty of clearance. The guys at Two Brother's Tire refused to put a 160 on but during mounting a mismarked tire (a 160) was install in error and it fit, to which was perfect for me. Two Brother's in Lawrenceville, GA will not install them since they found mine to work fine.

Hope this helps and I would definitely use Two Brother's, just slightly higher than ordering online, but just a few buck and install was cheaper than me removing them at home.

Hope this helps some of you make a good tire decision.

Installed them a few weeks ago and the handling is much much better. About 1,000 miles so far on the tires. If I get anything like some say they are getting I will be a very happy camper. Even if I get the same as the 402's I will still keep using them because of the handling and traction they provide. The cuts in the road do not yank the bike now. Just smooth sailing.

I also put on a new set of E3's on my 98 RK from E Moto 1 x Elite 3 MU90HB-16 Rear (314422tr) = $90.00
1 x Elite 3 MT90-16 Front (314410tr) = $75.00
------------------------ ------------------------------
Sub-Total: $165.00
Table Rate (Best Way): $14.50
Total: $179.50

I've put 400 miles on them in the week they've been on, found
them to be great on the roads with the tar filled in cracks and
pretty decent on the corners, however I did not care for the wet
handling ability of them in the rain storm I got caught in.

I replace the original Dunlop 402 tires with 10k on them and
even with those miles on them they preformed better in the rain.

All rides have been two up with 36psi in frt & 40 rear.

I put mine on this past weekend and they made a very big difference. Got mine from Jake Wilson, look for coupon codes online to get an additional $20 off.

We've been installing thse since the first of the year. We had a customer come on that had been running thse and getting great mileage. We've not had a complaint yet. I run Mets right now but will be switching to the E3's next time around.

So if you're looking for another option on tires it might be a good choice.

They carry the sizes
Front
90/90-21
MM90-19
MT90-16

Rear
MT90-16
MU90-16
160/80-16

Hope this helps.
