If I hadn't already bought an OEM Bridgestone front tire when I heard about the Elite 4's Dunlop was coming out with I would have had a set put on instead of just the rear but my initial scuff in on the brand new Elite 4 rear tire told me that this is the tire I was looking for. For a brand new tire to hold onto the curves at the speeds I was running it sold itself. I was amazed at its holding power. There will be a front Elite 4 put on when the Bridgestone wears out.
