I am happy with the 407/408 tires but just wondering if anyone came out with any new options for the 09 and later Touring bikes?

 

The Dunlop American Elite is now available. $152.99 at Jake Wilson with free shipping.
I have one in my garage, waiting to be installed.

 

Thanks Frenchie, I was looking for something from Michelin but will prob stick with teh Lops the stock ones have done me well compared to the tires I had on my 07 RKC. Let us know how the enw tire rides when you get it on, manwhile I will search the forum for the Amer Elite feedback. Again thanks.

 

Subscribing for the simple reason we have the same ride and tires .. Plus am about due for some myself especially the rear which have 10,000 on now but hoping for 5,000 more if don't make any long trips which doubt this time of year ..

 

+1, I got 15.2k out of the stock 407 rear and replaced with 4/32s left. I have 19k on the front 408; im all over the american elite as a less expensive, but similar quality, replacement. My buddys with the me880s (on 08 older) are replacing the rears at 10k.

 

Guys,

Another thing. Consider replacing your valves with angled valves when your replace your tires. I'm sick and tired of fighting with the stock valves on my 09 wheels to check or add air so I bought 2 angled valves from these guys.

Good point Frenchie, I have them for a year now and they are good.

 

You're the one who convinced me to buy them. Thanks much.

 

Have already got these ready to go French but thanks for pointing out the link have heard nothing but good about them ..
