Dunlap Elite 3 Touring Tire
I installed the Elite 3 tires about 3 weeks ago and have been very satisfied with them. They ride smooth and grip the road very well. My only issue is they did not get balanced properly and I can only take the 1988 Wing up to 95 mph right now.

This is one sweet looking tire! Looks just right on the back of my M109R. This will be my 2nd time with this tire and so far it has beat the original 240 and another company's 260 for tread life and all around performance!

good tire
So far, so good. It was between the Avon Venom and the Dunlop Elite 3. A buddy just put the Avon on his bike, so we'll see how they compare mileage-wise. This is an upgrade size; the original tire was a 150 - this is a 160. Even though it seems like a tiny difference, it is noticeable and quite agreeable. Best price I found anywhere, fast shipping, very easy to do business with. Motorcycle Superstore owns my business whenever possible.

Dunlop Elite 3 rear tire
Great tire good handling and smooth riding. Can not feel the rain grooves in the highway. Have not had long enough to tell how it will wear. I have the elite 3 on the front and rear.

Love these tires
This is my second Elite 3. The first one gave me 26,000 miles of service and could have probably went further.
Never felt uncomfortable. Great tire.

great deal on awesome rubber
Way better than the dealer was offering. And the tire helps my 109r draw some attention. Great handling and way better in the corners than I expected. I have more confidence to lean and throttle now with this underneath me!

There is nothing like a new tire on your bike. The Dunlop 3 Tire appears to be a great tire. This is the first Dunlop tire I have run, and time will tell how it wears.

Second Front, Third Rear
These are very good tires for my cruiser bike. Much better handling than the stock Dunlop’s that came on my E Glide. I ride hard and put quite a few miles on, these tires don’t wiggle on rain ruts till nearly worn out and work extremely well in the rain.

Dunlop Elite 3 Tour Rear Tire
I ride a 2003 Road King Fireman’s Edition. I changed from a Dunlap 402, what a great difference. I no longer feel the grooves or lane bumps in the road. It is a smooth ride over all. In appearance it looks much better than the 402. I was also told by dealerships not to mix front and rear tire tread patron. What a crock that was. My front is a 402 which will be changed to the Elite 3 when worn out.

Dunlop - Elite 3 Tour Rear Tire
Handling blows away the stock Dunlop 402's on my ElectraGlide. Handling is similar to the Me880s which I really like. I went with these front and back as it has been stated that the miles I get will be much more than either the stock or Michelins.

Another good tire!!
This tire is also satisfactory. Would consider ordering from your company again when I would need a tire.

Tires ride and perform outstanding. I put them on my HD Ultra Classic and wow what a difference. These tires make riding safer and more enjoyable. They outperform the stock tires by far.

Dunlop tire Elite 3 rear
Great tire. Improvement over Elite 2 like night and day. Highly recommend this tire. A little road noise when braking, but well worth the money.

Dunlop Elite 3 Tour Rear Tire
I went from an Elite 2 to an Elite 3 and the difference was enormous. On the rear of a '97 goldwing with my 147 lb wife and my 210 lb frame, this tire instilled confidence in every corner I took. My wife commented after the first ride she took with me, "It seems like you really put the bike into the turns more." That's the confidence this tire instills. If it wears anything like the Elite 2 then it should last 25 to 30 thousand miles.

Dunlop Pleased with the Tire
I purchased this tire about 2000 miles ago. The tire was quick to break in, quiet, and has very good stability in dry, wet and cornering. I put this tire on the rear of 1600 Nomad. It is a bit smaller than stock and I had to mount the tire myself. It was a struggle as this was the first tire I ever mounted, what surprised me was how strong the side walls are. My bike is 800 lbs and when I lowered it back down off the jack I forgot to put air back in it, and the tire held the weight of the bike. I don't know if this is good or not, but I figure if the tire starts to get low in air, it is plenty strong to hold up. I also figure that if the walls are this rigid riding on a heavy bike in the corners shouldn't make the back squirrely, and so far so good. The tire wear has been very good so far also.

From OEM to replacement.
Believe it or not, I still had my original rear tire on my Honda GL1500 Goldwing. I had replaced the front with the Dunlop Elite 3 and could realy feel a positive difference in handling. Because of that I put the same tire on the rear. Extremely smooth cornering. Because of limited miles driven since replacement I cannot really make a comment on different road conditions handling. The only negative was size. Only replacement available is one width size smaller than the original tire. There is definitely no loss in handleing because of it though. A plus is the increase in weight capacity. On a big cruiser that's a plus. Worth every penny!

great tire
This tire is about as good as it gets. Sticky on the road and gets pretty good mileage as well. Love it so far and will be a repeat buyer.

Dunlop E3 on Honda GL1800
I ride my Gold Wing for work. Every weekend and once a month I teach on the track. I have used every tire available for the bike and the Elite 3 is by far the best. With the bike leaned to the pegs with a full roll-on, even in cold, wet conditions, they provide excellent traction. I average 6000 miles on a set but average riders can expect 10000 to 18000.

Smooth running VTX 1800
I bought a set of the elite 3's a month ago, I have only put about 500 miles on my bike in the last month so here is how I feel. The tire price was $40 cheaper than any where else on the net(good). I usually run Dunlope d251's, because they get good mileage and not bad performance. First off, I really liked the looks of the new tire, it appears to be beefier than the d251, I like the tread pattern, The VTX is a heavy bike, These tires handle that weight very well, and it appears that the corners are not causing premature wear. They are quite, and have a smooth secure feel. Will see how they hold up to Texas heat.

Rear Elite 3 250 on 2008 M109R
This tire can't be beat for the money. It should have been OEM on the bike. The turn in is so much more stable now and the traction is unbelievable. I have been caught in the rain with this tire already and was very surprised at how well it handled. Much better than the original Dunny 240.

Hard to know to much at this point i have about 1000 miles on the tire right now and I’m very happy at this point. have ridden in cold weather and cold very wet weather and tire rides nice and seems to handle very well in most conditions. Will buy again..

Dunlop Elite 3 NC
Just recently installed the tire to replace a Conti Milestone that didn't give great mileage at all, about 5.5k before needing replacing. I haven't had a chance to put many miles on it due to some recent spring snow but so far the tire has exceeded my expectations. Much more stable than the Metz 880 and oem dunlop but lots more tread depth and great in the wet. I'll post another review once I get some more miles on em.

Nice looking tire, handles very well and has a slightly rounder profile than the ME880 I took off. It helps the bike lay over in the corner much smoother.

Dunlop Elite 3, 250MM Rear Tire
I had Avon tires originally. I heard good things about the Dunlop E3s and decided for the price they are worth a try. I haven't put many miles on them yet since winter returned to Colorado. However, the 100 miles I did ride the tires performed great. They mounted on the rims without issue and look great. I will know more once I get more miles on them but so far so good. I can't rate wet tractions yet or tread life so I rated them a 3.

I love these Dunlops
I ride a Victory Ness Jackpot with a 250 rear tire. I absolutely love this tire for all weather conditions. Living in the northwest you are never sure what the day of riding is gonna bring ya. Motorcycle Superstore has the best pricing around and seems to always have what I need in stock. Thanks for the fast shipment.

Great tire, Great price.
This tire is exactly like the tire Harley Davidson wanted to sell me for $100 more. I have not been able to do much riding on this new tire yet, but so far it passes all expectations. I'm hoping to get better tread wear from this tire. I have not ridden on any wet surfaces yet, so I can't rate it on that subject. I like the way the tire looks.

Durable Dunlop Elite lll
This my 2nd Dunlop 260-40vr18, the 1st was original equip. First one I got 11,000 plus miles on it and it had good grip the entire time. This is a great tire from DUNLOP and would recommend it to anyone.

I got the elite 3 from MCS for a good price. So far (1000+ miles) the tire is doing very well. I'm pleased and will be ordering my front from MCS when I need it. Good shipping rates fast service. I'm happy.

Dunlop Tour Elite 3 250
This is the second Dunlop Tour Elite 3 I have purchased from Superstore. The first was a 240 on a Suzuki M109R I got approximately 15000 miles and am hoping for the same on wider tire. Service was excellent and shipping in about 4 days. Price is best on web. Thanks

Great Traction
Bought for $120.00 less than what the dealer had it for. Great handling on high speed turns and when stopping. On wet surfaces handles better than the factory tires. The Elite III's are worth it.

E3 Dunlop, a great tire
Great tire with good looks, corners great, had to get used to it though, previous tire was a more square shouldered HD tire. Pay attention to the tread pattern and direction of rotation. The tread pattern is opposite of the front E3, it is supposed to be like this!!
Scott
Houston, TX
Dunlop - Elite 3 Tour Rear Tire
Just finished installing the tires, it made a tremendous difference in how the bike handles. The bike feels much better when cornering, hugs the road. Wet traction seems to be fine, have not had to try it yet. I have not put many miles on yet, so tread life will have to wait. They also make my 1982 KZ750 look great with the black walls. Price and delivery was much better than I could get locally, about half price when you include tubes, rim strips and free delivery. Delivered straight to my door, no driving around town searching for tires, tubes or rim strips.

Elite 3 is excellent
Just got the Elite 3's on my 86 Goldwing. Seems to be a great tire; Good traction, very stable and predictable. No problems at all. Highly recommended. Wet traction and tread life are unknown yet but had to put something in.

A painless purchase
In today's economic climate it pays to shop around. Although I have had my share of unpleasant experiences with internet shopping, my Motorcycle Superstore experience was painless. I purchased a set of Dunlop tires for my 2007 Victory Hammer from this company at $140.00 less than dealer pricing. The online buying process was seamless. The tires where delivered direct to my dealer for installation as I requested, and delivered on the day promised. I will use Motorcycle Superstore in the future.

Tire Mounting
I love the low profile and wide stance of this tire but it does not mount like the original. The shop I installed the tire at informed me that the tire will leave the lip of the rim sticking out. Sure as hell, it did.

dunlop elite III 240 rear tire
So far my wife and I are pleased with the tire; it’s smooth and handles well, on dry and wet roads. I cannot rate tread wear because we only have around 300 miles on it, but for the Dunlop soft rubber it seems to be wearing just fine. I would buy another elite III 240!
Gustavo Gonzalez

Elite 3
My first time ever buying a tire for my bike. I'm digg’in it, but from what I understand, I may be able to put on a larger tire. Maybe even up to a 280. Good brand and good everything about this tire. I will be looking for a tire in about 6 more mos. I'm going to you first. Thanks

Used on Suzuki M109 2007
Handling and traction seem good. Not impressed with the way the tire stays away from the flange on rim. Also not impressed with the way the tread pattern makes the rear end wobble at slow speed. Running on it I will see how it last. Price was good.
Larry Fleener
Horseshoe Bend, AR
Great tire
This is the best rear tire I have had on my 2007 Nomad. Go ahead lean into the corners, it will grip and remain true in grooved roads and track straight. I have not had the opportunity to rate tire in wet conditions but believe it will do well. Dunlop’s are well known for stability in wet conditions. I hope I get the expected tread wear as these are somewhat more expensive than other competitor’s tires. The ride is nice and smooth and so far I'm very well pleased with this tire.

This tire is JUNK stay away will not seat right on the rim will not balance.
Out $90.00 on mounting and dismounting!!!Not happy at all.
Did some research and have found other people have had the same problem. Going back to a Metzeler 880.

Dunlop Elite 3 is very good buy.
I really like this tire and the price could not be beat. Shipment was very fast and it was a very good experience. I was very pleased with the Dunlop Elite 3 tire. Once it was mounted it looked great. It has a very wide profile and rides great. I could really tell the difference in this tire and the OEM tire that came on the bike. I highly recommend the tire as well as Motorcycle Superstore

e3 is outstanding!!!!
I have had 3 sets of e3 Dunlops on my GL 1500 Goldwing. I do a lot of hard riding solo and gentle touring with my co-rider aboard. On the current set I have logged 10k and have about 50% life left. Have had a puncture with a large screw just before replacing the last set and i had minor air loss and it just got us home. The handling is outstanding on my big bike. I replace them myself and they just fit! Balancing takes minor added weight. I have the shop spin them. All said "best I’ve ever had".

EXCELLENT BANG FOR BUCK!!!!
I was first to get a M109R in S.C. and when I picked up my bike I asked how much the replacement tire was ($502.00) from the factory. I got 7,300 miles out of that softer tire. I can see for $155.00 I will be over 15,000 on my bike. Great deal and it really looks good.
