Has anyone else noticed that both Dunlop (American Elite) and Michelin (Commander II) do not come in Gold Wing sizes? The HD folks are getting 30,000KM (18,600) plus on these tires and we still suffer with 20,000 KM (12,500 Miles) or less. Wonder how we can put some pressure on Honda to insist on a touring tire that gets some mileage at a reasonable price for a Wing?

I've yet to see a tire that lasts half that long on any HD of my friends. 12k is the norm for all my buddies, and it's a very common complaint they have. Now noe of them are riding really current models, they're all 6-10 years old, and they have very small tires (Ultras) for that big a bike. Hard on brakes too.
