Tires for the 1500

zoom45 · 05-14-2009, 08:10 PM

I know this has been discussed a lot but my rear tire is AGAIN worn out. Seems like I just put it on but it has about 10,000 miles on it. I have always used the Dunlop 404 till now and had good luck with them. I wanted the Elite 3 but I don't see it in the 150/80-16 stock size for the rear. Is there a better tire for the 1500 rear without spending an extra $75 over the Dunlop cost? I even thought about a car tire but don't know what kind to get or the handling difference especially with two up. The Dunlop seems the wear right in the middle and none on the rounded edges. Mine is slick after the Eureka rally. :'( I liked the stock Bridgstone as much as the Dunlop.
