Hello everyone,,


I have a 2006 Goldwing and I need to get new tires I heard the Dunlop Elite 2 or 3 series is the way to go what are your thoughts?? Thanks Dean

I have a friend that replaced his tires with Bridgestones and swears he won't go back to the Dunlops. I've only got 4500 miles on my '08 but when it's time, I'll probably go with the "Stones" too.

On my 87 interstate I got beter mileage from the Bridgestones than Dunlops.But they were not E3's.My 95 will need tires this year. I'm leaning toward trying the E3's

I just called my local honda dealer and they want $583.00 to installed them.. Does anyone know how much the Bridgstones are??

I got tired of buying tires for my 1800 every 5000 to 7000 miles. I had to find a better tire ---- I found the I get about 30000 miles from a 195 55 16 Hankook tire made for a sports car---- they work great ! and you can buy them from Pep Boys for about $90.00

Install price

I hope you meant $585 was the price to install including the tires. If not, you've got to find another dealership. I will only be getting a Wing in the spring but I have been paying $40 for the front and $55 for the rear for mounting, balancing and installation. Right now I'm riding a 2006 Stratoliner and have been getting my work done at a Honda/Yamaha dealership here in Massachusetts. Good luck with whatever tire you decide to go with. Unfortunately I have only been getting about 9,000 out of a set of tires so when I switch to the Wing there won't be any great dissappointment when it comes to tire wear.

... HOWDY ... I'M REPLACING MY DUNLOP 404's WITH DUNLOP E-3 BIAS PLY ... HAPPY TRAILS ...

i have E3 's on both wings. bridgestone tires seem to have gotten a lot better but i still won't buy them and if they are on a bike i buy they'll be the first thing to go

The E3's get my vote, my last (2) sets went over 20K on each set, ran Bridgestones years ago, did'nt care for them, (poor mileage).

I'll continue to watch this thread as it seems the Dunlops are most rider's favorites... so far.

Bridgestone should stick to making car tires. I had a Bridgestone (same company) SS350 motorcycle. Freaking little thing was a rocket.

Chop you have to go with the angle of "I did it for your safety dear"

That one will go over about as well as my line to her that the reason I need " cheaters " is because my eyes are worn out from looking at her radiant beauty all these years.

I've priced Dunlop E-3s at local dealers here in mid Missouri, both less than $425 installed.

How far from Washington D.C. to mid Missouri ? Do you have a Motel - 6 there ?
