Mover Posted May 23, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2016 Dunlop is now showing the Elite 4 on their website http://www.dunlopmotorcycletires.com/tire-line/elite-4-2/ but the sizing is very limited. Hopefully that will improve soon. Mover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aharbi Posted May 23, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 23, 2016 Just ordered a new rear tire, an E3. Asked the dealer about the new E4s, said they won't be available till August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skid Posted May 24, 2016 Share #6 Posted May 24, 2016 Looks like they have them for the front, just not for the rear yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotta68 Posted June 4, 2016 Share #7 Posted June 4, 2016 They're coming... I work at the Dunlop plant in Buffalo and inquired about sizes. They eventually will be replacing the E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted June 4, 2016 Share #8 Posted June 4, 2016 So should you fallow bike specs or tire specs for air pressure. I've heard both and besides the faulty Metzler's I've fallowed the bike specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M61A1MECH Posted June 5, 2016 Share #10 Posted June 5, 2016 So should you fallow bike specs or tire specs for air pressure. I've heard both and besides the faulty Metzler's I've fallowed the bike specs Follow the tire manufacturer specs, the bike specs are for the OEM tires that come on the bike from the factory, normally those are Bridgestones. Not using the tire manufacturer specs , especially in the case of the Metzlers, is potentially related to the high failure rate that have been reported on those tires.

bowser Posted June 5, 2016 Share #11 Posted June 5, 2016 That's what I thought but last tech who installed tires said bike specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted June 5, 2016 Share #12 Posted June 5, 2016 I found out the hard way on bike tires. I had a Kawasaki 900 Vulcan. I ran the pressures stated in the owners manual. Tires were shot in 5k. About 3k in I noticed they were looking worn. Found out on some 900 forums that pressures needed to be more. Found out the same thing on the RSV and now on the Victory. So it appears bike tires are the same as car tires. If you use the pressures on the sill plate, you will get the nice cushy ride the manufacture boasts about. If you want mileage, go with the tire manufactures recommended pressures. Better stability, mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
