I have the American Elites and am satisfied with the wear and price, but they do not like tar snakes and there seems to be more sidewall flex than the stock Dunlops.
"Tire made for a medium weight bike". Haven't heard that before. ALWAYS check the max load allowed on the tire before making a final decision, especially if you 2 up at all. It is on the sidewall of your present tire, I wouldn't go any less. If a given tire equals or exceeds the load carrying capability of the factory tire it can handle your bike. The rest is tread compound for how long it will last.
