Snow tire disadvantages?

[bob109]

I don't want car or snow tires for my f6b. I just replaced a set of Dunlop elite3 tires off my Harley Davidson ultra limited with 24,000 miles on them. That is the tire that's going the F6B next year.

Greetings from China this week. Sure will bob109. It took me 4 years to put 24k on my Harley. I wouldn't want to keep a tire that was much more than 5 years old on any motorcycle. My average ride is 250 miles per day.

FWIW, the new Dunlop E4's are advertised as being quieter and higher mileage than the E3's.

Wow, that's great news! I didn't notice the tires being noisy. Thanks for the info.

The list of past cycle tires advertising higher/improved mileage is long. Riders results have proved that gains have been small/minimal, if any! Things may change in the future when you see Threadwear, Temperature and Traction Ratings embossed on cycle tire sidewalls. Of course, I personally wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen I believe the old adage of "If it sounds too good to be true it usually is" was written specifically for cycle tires

I've "been there and done that" 5-7 k miles on a motorcycle business. That's the biggest pain in the ass of motorcycle ownership. If I rode a sport bike, I would buy new tires annually.

I had Dunlop Elite 3's on my past Victory Vision. They are a long wearing tire. I think I got 18K out of the rear one and I changed the front at close to 20K. Both tires still had some life left in them.

I got 18k on the OEM tires in 20 months of professionally spirited riding - probably a 65-35% split between slab and curves respectively. Front at 39, rear at 40 - always.
