Another Dunlop Tire Question

AlabamaNomadRider · 06-21-2010, 11:33 PM

I have the Dunlop Elite 3 180-70R-16 on the rear. I really like the ride and feel.

I will be replacing the front tire soon and wanted to go with the Elite 3 radial for the front. Problem is I don't see that Dunlop makes the Elite 3 radial in size 150-80-16. What options do I have with a Dunlop in that size for the front in radial if possible?

Dunlop Front Elite 3 150/80H-16 Blackwall Tire. You can get it from Dennis Kirk for $107.99.

Thanks Bob I appreciate the help. That is the bias ply version, right?

I have decided to go with the Dunlop Elite 3 150-80H-16 for the front. If it is anything like the rear tire I can't wait. Got to go online and order from Dennis Kirk unless someone knows of an online tire outlet that has them for less.

I am trying to gain a better understanding of tires.

Is the Dunlop Elite 3 150-80H-16 a radial tire?

Bob - txs

If I wanted to run Dunlop E 3 radials front and back, what would I be looking for?

Yellow Jacket · 06-24-2010, 03:22 AM

Dunlop doesn't make a front 150/80-16 radial. At least, I can't find one. They do have two rear tires in 180/60-16 and 180/70-16 that are radials.

Check out the Avon Cobras. They have radial for both front and rear. The guys that I know of that have them really like them. I have the Cobra on the front and I like it much better than the stock Bridgestone. I have a radial car tire on the rear.

I may check out the Avon Bob and compare it with the Dunlop non-radial. Thanks for the information. I know I checked the Dunlop site and didn't find anything in a front radial.
