a great tire !
I just replaced my Elite 3 tires at 23,563 miles. This outstanding mileage was achieved by running 42-43 PSI in both tires and having Centramatics. The tires ran very smoothly and never cupped. I hope that the Elite 4's will give me similar results. My previous 2 sets of (other brand) tires were good tires overall but had to be replaced at 15-16K(even with the Centramatics).The extra cost of the Elites is more than made up by the extra mileage. |

Dunlap E4 Review
I put a set of E4's on my 2015 F6B just before a 6800 mile trip from Georgia to Deadwood SD and Cody Wy. The tires performed very well and handled the twisties as well as any tire I have ever had. As far as longevity is concerned, I now have 11600 miles on both tires and the front tire is fine but the rear is very near the wear bars and is not wearing evenly all the way around. At this point it breaks loose in a hard acceleration in a turn way sooner than it should. The E4's are good tires but I can't say that they are high mileage tires. The only tires I have ever gotten more than 12K miles on were the car tires I used to run on my full Goldwing's. If your looking for a high mileage tire these are not the ones. |

Elite 4 tires on my 2012 GL1800
I have been and still am a Bridgestone fan, but I decided to try the E4's. Ordered the combo set and had them installed, along with Centra-Matic balancers, before we started on a series of trips we had planned: Orlando to New Orleans and Orlando to Key West. After about 3K miles or so now I have no issues with the tires and they maintain air pressure well. I had tried E3's a couple of times previously and always had significant cupping on both tires that made the ride really rough. No such issues with the E4's yet! Lots of wet road riding here in Central Florida with no significant grip issues, except for those rubber lane markers and stop bars they use that get seriously slippery with the slightest bit of precipitation. |

Dunlop Elite 4 Trouble
I put a set of Elite 4's on my 2013 F6B and made it 500 miles on a 2000 mile trip to Deals Gap. On August 10th it was hot with temps in the upper 90's. My rear tire went down at MP 109 on 95 south in NC Had to get towed to the Honda Dealer in Garner NC which was about 40 miles. The dealer service people examined the tire with me and could find no evidence of a puncture. The tire was de-laminated on the inside and in every one of the large curfs of the tread there was an air leak. If these Elite 4"s can not handle the heat because of a structural defect I would like to know that. I spoke to Wingstuff about the situation and they promised to speak to Dunlop for me, so far just crickets. I put an Elite 3 on the rear and am very worried about the Elite 4 still on the front. I can not be the only one with similar tire trouble with this Elite 4. |

TIres
You should always changed both tires same time, putting a E3 with a E4 is like putting a metzeler with a bridgestone, the wobble is a common problem on all bikes, I got mine fixed when I bought my GL in 2011 brand new, I got the stock STEERING STEM BEARINGS changed for Tapered bearing, probably sold here at wingshop, I had the same problem on my GL1800 2001, since I change these bearings, never had anymore wobbling except when tires are really finished, all my E3 I did most over 28,000 to 34,000 km on them , they are excellent tire, just a bit noisy when 3/4 life on tire done. P/N for bearing is 22-1037, but don't know who is the manufacturer. Look here at wingstuff, this link https://wingstuff.com/products/21578-all-balls-steering-bearings-for-gl1800-f6b?from_search=1 |

Hang Onto Your Bars!
I just returned from a 3500 mile trip from Colorado to Cali and back. The rear E4 handled wonderfully. I did not put the front E4 on the bike thinking my old E3 could make the trip. On the way to Cali I had 5 hours of crosswind in Wyoming and cupped the right side of the E3 on the front. So, even though I have a new front E4 in my garage, I had to put one on in Cali. NOT HAPPY! With only 500 miles on the front tire I hit the grooved cement on I 80 and the E4 was trying to find a track. If you don't like the classic wing wobble, you really are not going to like the E4 on the front. I was going 70 when it started, slowed quickly, but could not find any speed that remedied the problem. When I hit a buffeting wind in Salt Lake City the next day it made the ride real interesting on the grooved cement. Different speeds, temperatures, states, it is all the same with the E4 on grooved cement. Talking to the service manager at my authorized Honda shop while it was in for a rear brake recall he stated many are having this same experience. I have read other reviews from riders who say they are not. |

Tires are available in Montreal region, I just got a set installed on my 2010 GL, rides great, but only 200 km on them, so hard to really say something on them yet. |

Dunlop E4
Additionally, these tires are not yet available in Canada and you can't beat the Wingstuff price. |

Dunlop E4
Personally, I like these tires. Used the E3s for many years. There appears to be less rolling resistance although I find the tires a little nosier than their predecessor. After more than 3000 miles, I have yet to see any cupping. I had the tires installed, balanced and for double security, I have the bead balancers. Seems like a pretty good tire to me. |

had Elite 3 combo Ft tire was bad.
Noticed that they don't sell the Elite 3 tires..The front tire had a flat spot, returned it, Wing stuff gave me another one, they were great. Now after 3K that tire has a flat spot on the side and is rocking the bars. Just replaced it..And not a Dunlop. |

Elite 4s - Big disappointment
I have run the Bridgestones on my 2010 Goldwing for years without any real issue. A few weeks ago, I decided to give the new E4s a shot. I installed them in advance of a 3800 mile trip. They were great for the 1st 2000 miles but after that point, the rear tire started to cup horribly. Now after 3800 miles the rear is cupped and extremely noisy. Front looks fine though. Very disappointed to say the least. |

Great tire
I called the Tonawanda plant for Dunlop and was told they used the same carcass as the Elite3. As the E3 is an unadvertised runflat (they can't because of insurance) I wanted to make sure this tire was the same. I was told they mad changes to the tread rubber and tread itself to better the characteristics. I haven't been in a rain storm to check that change but very impressed with the lack of noise that the E3's had. I have a long driveway and my first drive on the tire at slow speeds made me think I did not have any air in my tires they were so smooth. As I have put 40,000 miles on E3's I noticed the "rolling" difference right away. Good job Dunlop! |
