Mark Flowery Branch,  GA Great tire I have to say this is the first tire in 30 years that did not require any weights when it was balanced . I Like the old school White Letters .

Mike Rosharon,  TX K491 Best This is my 6th K491 tire. I get 16 to 18k miles on each one. I have a 99 Honda Magna with 103K miles on it. Excellent tire and good wet traction.

Ron Deitch Delaware,  OH Front tire I have over 32,000 miles on my front tire and it still looks good, its the best tire I have ever had on my Harley, although I’d like to find a back tire I could get 15,000 miles out of, I haven’t found 1 yet. But my Dunlops do wear good, I usually get about 12,000 out of the back, I still have the factory tire on the front.

Daniel Rupp South Elgin,  IL Dunlop - 491 Elite II Touring White Letter Rear Tire Overall a very good road tire for my touring bike (Voyager XII). The rear tire tends to wear out long before the front so I usually get 2 rears for every front tire. Handles very well on dry pavement and very well on wet pavement as long as there is enough tread. Cornering and stability are excellent. However, the next tire change will be both front and rear and I'm going to switch to the Elite 3 as they are suppose to have a longer tread life and even better traction under both wet & dry conditions.

Jim Shreveport,  LA Great tire I can't review my new tire yet (I haven't installed it) because I'm waiting to order the front tire. I can tell you that it will be a great tire because it is a replacement for the Dunlop’s I already have. The new ones just have raised white letters. My bike has about four thousand miles on it and the tires don't look worn at all. They aren't as sticky as some other tires I've had (on other bikes), but they will last a whole lot longer. I could have bought less expensive RWL tires, but they didn't look as good as the Dunlop’s. Dunlop has a great tread pattern. If I ever need tires again, and I can afford them, I will always buy Dunlop’s.

Chris Holman wilmington,  NC dunlop elite II These tires are definitely not the same tire; they ride very much different, hold better and give the bike a much better feel on the road. The white lettering adds to my custom effect. I am unable to give tread life as I do not know yet, I do ride my ultra harder than most, but as I said not the same as the stock Dunlop.
