Had Front Tire Replaced Today

AlabamaNomadRider · 09-03-2010, 11:39 PM

I ordered the Dunlop Elite 3 for the front a couple of weeks back and finally had it mounted today. I wanted to get 11,000 miles out of the original Bridgestone but fell short. When I pulled in at 278 Custom Cycles to get it mounted the odometer had 10,996 miles showing. Have to admit with the Elite 3 on the rear, with just over 1,000 miles on it, and now the new Elite 3 on the front it really rides like a different bike. I love the handling and have no noise issue. They sure ride a lot better than the Bridgestones did.

You should have ridden around the block once or twice so you could have gotten an even 11K.

I am now at 8800 miles. By the looks of my front I might get 11 K out of it but I am not waiting.

I need a new BT (Nomad is parked until I get it) and when I replace it a new FT will also be put on. I am still on the fence with either the E 3 or the Cobra.
