is this a good price on tires???

[robclark63]

I found a set or Dunlops -Dunlop-491-Elite-II-Front-Motorcycle-Tire--134.99 and the rear -Dunlop-491-Elite-II-Rear-Motorcycle-Tire--155.99 I am wondering if this is a decent deal or is there a better place to pick something up. Thanks everyone:)

i would go with the E III's. try jake wilson

I believe the Elite II has been out of production for awhile. You may be getting tires that are past their service life... The IIs have been replaced with IIIs.

A lot of people here really like the elite III tires including me.

I found the Elite ii on several sites in the rear size for close to the same price but did not find the front size. The elitie II are still made just in limited sizes.

Thanks for the info!! reddevilmedic...who is jake wilson?? Thanks

[robclark63]

Just found out that Jake wilson can be found onine:cool10:

Deffinatly get the E-3 !! I'm pretty sure any of the 2's left over been on the self

a long time !!!

 

Also, that price is on the high side.

Victory is putting Elite II on their brand new Judge. I put Elite IIs on my Goldwing within the last 6 months.Those prices aren't bad but for some reason,the 2s cost more than the 3s..I like the Elite IIs WAY better than the 3s.

I just purchased new tires. I checked everywhere. Best price around was jc_motorcycle_accessories on ebay for my radials. 45K feedback, free shipping.

 

I ran E 3's on the venture and liked them just a little less than the Avon Venoms.

I like the Motorcycle Superstore for tires. They have great prices and say they wont be beat and If I order them on a Monday I have them by Thursday with free shipping.
