Well its that time again.......trying a Dunlop American Elite. Got 14.5k out of the last Dunlop 407 not bad considering the high road temps and plenty of dirt sections

I,m nearly up for my 3rd set . 3 x pairs @ 20,000km ea . I can,t fault the OEM Dunlop tyres .

Are these like every other dunlop tire ive ever had, dangerous in wet, bike moves all over place when hits a grove in the road, lose grip after a few ks etc

Im just about up for tyres, keen to see how these go,,,,,,,,,,,,

Just back with new tyre on ......keep you posted

Just added to my very large pile of invoices with my recent tyre purchase, this is in fact my 4th rear and third front replacement tyres. The klm vary quite significantly with the average being around 13400 km per tyre . My maths are based on the total klm the bike has done, 58800 km and the first tyre lasted 18200 leaving 40200 km done by 3 tires. Lets see how the new rear goes. And for the first time ever did not replace as a pair due to my front being replaced about 900km ago due to a huge puncture.

Got to run the new rear in torrential rain today. A vast improvement to the std rear, with no nasty moments even with white lines. Not a big fan of the American Elite front in the wet, no issues with grip but offers little feed back. They tend to steer a little funnily in the dry as well. Would at this stage recommend the rear to the tourer boys but will not try the same front again.
