Default Another Elite 3 convert!!

Wow! Just picked my scoot up after getting a new set of E-3's mounted. I can't believe the difference in ride and handling. Just a 30 km ride home but wow! Even hit a down pour on the way home and I was impressed with the wet road handling. What an improvement over the 402's.Thanks to all the forum members, for the previous feedback on these tires you were bang on.I hope I get the mileage that you guys are getting out of them!

Key to good life on those puppies is watching your air pressure. It will make a huge difference. Glad you like em.

I'm at 40 F&R... on my FLTR...
in fairness... ANY new tire will produce a WOW.... after you've been on old skins....
The E-3s just keep on wowwing though.... (to me)

I was wowwed with them so much on my last bike (an 04' RK) I just ordered a set for the 233 mile 08' Ultra I just bought and am selling the low mile 402's to a friend. Also the Jake Wilson $177 deal helped that decision as well.

I'm almost at 20k on my first E3 rear, double the mileage I got out of the first two D402's. Amazing! It has 2/32" remaining and is getting close to needing replacement. Has anyone else gotten this level of mileage from an E3? I think one or two others have reported 20k or more.
