Hated stock Dunlops on my 95 DWG & 05 RKC, tried Metzlers(ok) & found Avon Venom X's were great, used them for years. Then had motor work done on RKC & was only getting 5K on rear tire. Switched to Dunlop Elite 3's on advice of local tech buddy & love them. Handle great dry or wet & so far have 7K on rear with just less than half tread left & they're cheaper than Avons. I will be sticking with Elite 3's as long as they make them. PS I ride hard.
