Much Better than my old E-3's
| I have a 2006 GL1800 and ride a good mix of 2-up and solo. The OEM D250 got me about 8,000 on the rear tire before needing changed. I went to the Dunlop E-3. It was a smooth ride but it started cupping badly at about 7,000 miles and it was replaced at 8,400 miles. My front tire was cupping very badly with the E-3 as well. I've had 2 sets of E-3's and got the same results with both. I watch my tire pressures closely and don't feel that was an issue. Last Fall I went to the new Bridstone. The ride is smoother, the traction is way better - I go through curves like I'm glued to the road and the best thing so far is that the GL1800 front end wobble when decelerating is gone. So far no cupping either. It's just a much better tire for the GL1800 in my opinion. My best friend replaced his E-3's on his 2008 GL1800 and has almost the same exact findings - no wobble, no cupping and better traction. |
