I've been using the American Elite tires as replacements for the stock D407/D408 that came stock on my '09 Ultra and I love them. I get about 22,000 out of the fronts and 15k from the rears. 15,000 is about an average for the rear depending on the type of riding I'm doing and how hot it is or the type of roads I'm riding. I can get anywhere from 12,000 to as much as 18 or 19 thousand miles on a rear tire. The tread pattern is a bit different than the OEM tires though they're the same compound so you'd think they should wear the same but they don't, the American Elites wear a lot better than the OEM tires. Also, although Harley recommends 40 psi for the rear, the American Elite has a little higher max pressure and I've found a significant difference running the rear at 41psi. Much more even wear and longer lasting. My bike has almost 77,000 miles and I've been using these since about 30,000.

I've had these before, and I was so impressed, had to get them again. LOONNG wearing (twice as long as the OE tires), great grip in the curves, sure-footed on rain soaked roads, and they don't get squirrely on grooved pavement.

I’ve run this tire on the rear of my FLHTCU properly inflated to 40 PSI, and at 7000 miles I have noticeable cupping and the bike is starting to “sing” when I lean into a turn. Tread life seems very good as I have 8/32” left of the original 11/32” so I am estimating 18,000 miles if I can stand the cupping that long. The OEM Dunlops did the same thing. Revzilla shipping and customer service was awesome and I will buy from them again, but may try a different tire based on reviews at next change point, As I ride about 12-14000 miles a year it won’t be long.

Switched from metzeler to these. They grip better, have less road noise, don't track grooves in the road and seem to be getting better milage! All around great tire! And fast shipping too!

So far, this has been a very good tire. While I haven't pushed it real hard, I've dragged the pegs through the twisties without issue. There's no center strip on these skins, so they won't track tarsnakes. I haven't been out on a wet road with them yet, but I suspect they'll do well there as well. Again, I haven't had them long, but so far, the American Elite tires feel like the real deal.

good and sticky on wet and dry pavement , no cupping ..

100 miles so far and a great tire for the road. Haven't rode it thru rain yet.

I have just over 4,000 miles on these tires since I put them on my 2004 Heritage, replacing a worn-out set of Dunlop Elite IIIs.

Tread wear is non-existent (maybe 1/32), and handling on dry pavement, heavy rain, and even some snow (!) is excellent.

The tires feel a little more lively in the first 5-10 degrees of lean-over, but that may be because they are new and round on the bottom instead of worn-out and flat like the ones I replaced.

If they hold up like it looks like they will, I'll definitely be grabbing another set when these wear out.

Got a set of these American Elites. Had them mounted up this past weekend. The second I pulled the bike on the road a smile lit my face up. These tires float over the crappy mountain roads we have here in PA unbelievably well. They don't chase grooves, transition in corners super smooth, and really inspire confidence. People talk about twisties. That makes me laugh, those are the only kind of roads we have here, with the added bonus of huge potholes and trenches worn into the road! I never imagined the tires would make such a drastic difference in how my Low Rider handles.

My bike felt squishy and loose with the OEM Michelin Scorchers and yes at the proper air pressure, I check it religiously. They were horrible feeling and 1/32 tread after 6k miles. Junk.

Time will tell on longevity of the Dunlops of course but I'm very hopeful with all the other reported milages from other riders.

The best part about getting the tires here at RevZilla... Paid less for the front and rear set than I would have for just the rear from my local HD Stealership with the rebate from Dunlop. Also free shipping and were on my front porch 2 days after ordering. Crazy awesome Zilla, keep it up!

These tires are great smoother ride, grip so good bike just feels planted to the road, made my bike feel like it had been missing something all this time, I'm glad I bought them and will buy them again
