Dunlop Elite 4 durability

[Az Wingrider]

Going on 19,000 miles on my E4s....
They still look REALLY good.

If I get that kind of mileage out of these tires I am going to be very happy. Looking good so far

Got 18,000 out of my OEM stones, and then another 18,000 out their OEM Stone replacements.

The key is keeping the tire pressures where they need to be.

I have about 5000 km on the front running 40psi and I just put the new one on the back running 41psi. So far I love them. The front tire handles the groves and tire snakes much better. The rear tire seems to sit a tiny bit higher than the oem tire. I just hope I get the mileage out of them that everyone has been talking about.
The tire seems to be built more solid than the Bridgestone, that was quite noticeable before I installed it.
next Friday I leave for Maggie Valley so I will for sure put it to the test.
Ride safe

I just found out that my stock tire is about shot after 6,900 miles. After reading through this thread it seems like the Dunlap Elite 4 is a good combination of tread life and traction.

I need to pull the trigger on a tire soon because of a up coming trip, is this Dunlap the preferred sneaker for the the goldWings?

I just completed a 2500 mile trip in 4 days, combination of both highway and twisties, we weren't hanging around and the rear elite 4 didn't miss a beat and doesn't look that worn, I'm currently running an elite 3 on the front, which I'll be replacing shortly for the elite 4

Preferred? Hmm. Ask 10 GW riders what's the best tire and you'll get 13 answers...

I've only had the 'Stones and the E4s.
I like them both.
I like the Stones better in rain and puddles.
I like the E4s better for hot tarmac and tar snakes.
The E4 dual compound should last longer for people who ride straight a lot.

To some? It depends which marque is on sale.
Either way you cannot go wrong.

Thanks for the input everyone. I placed an order today for new front and rear Elite 4's.

You will be quite happy with the E-4's I am sure...Tire questions, oil opinions, seat choices, windshield options, all open a huge "can of worms" and everyone has their own ideas and thoughts...Do what your inspired to do and all will be well...Ride safe...

I'm pretty religious about my tire pressure and the best I did on three sets of Bridgestones was 9500 miles.
