I ride an 83. the Elite II's on the bike are getting thin and are quite old. I would like a tire with more "grip" in the wet compared to what I am riding on now. The Dunlop D404's look like they have a far better tread pattern for wet riding. How do they ride on the dry as well? anyone running them? Hate them? love them? How about bridgestone S11's? I'd like E3's but they dont make them in venture sizes anymore. I cant find them in 120/90-18 for t he front and 140/90-16 for the rear.

Reading up on tires over the last 2 months and still seeing D404 discussions, I just have to find out. I had 13,380 miles on my original D404s. Measuring the tread, I could have easily gotten upwards of 15,000 miles. I got new tires, mostly because, I was starting to feel a little shimmy in 60mph turns. I attribute that to a little bit of "wave" type wear on the edgees of the tread. I don't jump off the line. I keep about 40psi in the rear shock, keep the tires inflated within 2 psi of sidewall (but not over), and about 60% of the miles were 1 up. So I am just wondering, did I get more than average life out of my D404s? What are the riding habits of those that get less than 10,000 miles out of their tire?
