I had 13,000 on the rear one when I replaced it, the front has 17,000 and dosen't show hardly any wear. The handling in the rain is great, tar snakes, etc like they aren't even there. Do whine a little, but I just turn up the tunes. Won't ever put anything on except them. I hear stories of folks getting over 18,000 on a rear tire, and I am from Missouri and they will have to show me. I never got over 8,000 on any brand of tire until I put the E3's on.

I can only repeat what every one else has said, I put one on the rear of my 99 RKC, can't wait for the front to ware out so I can replace it, put them on the front and rear of my son's Yamaha and he can't say enough good about them.

Only have an E3 on the front so far - but like it - and it's wearing great. 5800 miles on it so far, and it's looking a lot it did when I put in on.

 

well, unfortunately, i can't take a pic for you but when i traded my 07 in for my 10, i had 19,000 miles on a set of e3s. the rear was nowhere near needing to be replaced, and the front looked almost new.

awesome tires. will be putting them on this bike when needed.

 

When my rear 402 needed replaced,I bought a set of E3's front and rear for this years 3k trip even though the front only had a couple thousand miles and looked new.

What a difference! I've ran 402's for years.I had no idea that they sucked so bad until now!

Anyone want a like new front 402? I thought I would keep it for a spare but now I know I will never put it on!

 

Just put a set on my 08 streetglide.They are awesome.Just got back from Michigan.Put 1200 miles on them.They are all they are cracked up to be.Hope I get the mileage that everyone else is getting out of them.

 

Yep. I just replaced my rear E3 at 12,000. Although the E3 rode and wore better than the OEMs, I didn't get near the mileage that others seem to get with these and this was all 1up riding. My mechanic suggested I was having too much fun with the engine build - could be right. I replaced the E3 with an Avon and although I've only got 1,500 miles on the Avon so far, I'm impressed. It rides smoother and quieter than the E3 and it turns in better. Most say they don't get that great of mileage out of the Avons, but hey, I didn't get that great of mileage out of the vaunted E3s either. My 2 cents, your mileage may very, the opinions expressed by the host do not necessary reflect the opinions of the station, void where prohibited, apply only to affected area, for recreational use only, slightly higher west of the Mississippi, and, most importantly, substantial penalty for early withdrawal.

 

I have the 160 it fits it handles and you get the wear out of them. Go for it!!

 

Running E3's on both front and rear. Awesome tires in both handling and wear. Got about 5k on them with no noticeable wear!

 

Of course, whether 12k is good or bad.... would depend on how many miles you got with other tires.
Many people report 8k from D-402's... so 12k, would be a nice improvement

To the OP
per Dunlop's site
front tire MT90B16 72H BW 4079-90 3.00 25.00 5.24 6/32 770 @ 40PSI
rear tire MU90B16 78H BW 4079-95 3.00 25.72 5.57 11/32 930 @ 40PSI

I run tires close to the max pressure as noted on the sidewall. Certainly within 10%, as that will keep the tire cooler, and lasting longer.

Lower pressures MAY give a softer ride... but the softer the pressure, the greater the tire flex. the more a tire flexes, the more heat they generate. The more heat a tire generates, the faster it wears out... or worse.

Just what I've learned from listening to folks in the know.... stand by for the rebutal commentaries
