Default Dunlop Elite 3s on 08 StreetGlide

I have seen a great deal of positive feedback on this tire. I am closing in on 9000 miles on my OEMs so I am beginning my research for replacements. E-3s are not listed as replacements for the SG. The measurements look pretty close but I am not tire expert so I am unsure how the different dimensions may impact fit. Can you/have you put E-3s on your SG? Is it an improvement over OEM? If so, how so?

Thanks in advance...Todd

also just had them installed:

Front: MT90B-16 (72H) Dunlop Elite 3 Bias-Ply
Rear: 60/80B-16 (80H) Dunlop Elite 3 Bias-Ply

No fitment problems at all ... improved the quality and fun factor of the ride.

Check out www.jakewilson.com ... excellent price and super fast shipping. Ordered on Tues night and at the front door on Thursday

Have the E3s on my 08 Ultra. Much better ride, no more tracking while riding, and it corners much better. You'll love them.

Did you use the MT90B16 on the front and the MU90B16 on the back, or did you go for the 160/80B16 on the back?
