Default Tires

I have a '10 RGC with 11000 miles. I need tires. Who can recommend a great handling all weather tire for the front. Rear too while your at it. Stock tires are already showing dryrot
I'd like something that corners well & handles wet roads

Thx... D

the dunlop american elite fits the bill nicely. jake wilson and dennis kirk usually have them at good prices. just replaced one on the rear and got 20k out of it-good in the rain too.

I agree. I've had a couple set of the AE's on my 09 Ultra and love them. I find they wear better and I like the handling characteristics better then the stock D407/408

you might as well open a catalog and throw a dart, because that how many opinions there are out there on tires, in my case I'm running michelin commander II's, about 6000mi on them they grip well in the ran and I hardly notice the tar snakes.

Avon. Hands down, the best at what you are looking for. They are not high mileage leaders, but handle like a dream.

I have about 3000 miles on the Com IIs and can say they seem great so far, very sticky. I agree with Madhunter60 I don't notice the snakes and they feel very sure footed in the rain. Only time will tell if they offer the mileage promised.
