Welcome!!!

I had a set of Dunlop Elite's on my bike a few months back. I put close to 5,000 miles on them and they showed very little wear. They would be a great tire for longevity or really easy cruising. I replaced those tires with Shinko 712 and absolutely love them! The radial gives a much smoother ride and the softer compound and improved tread design feels rock solid. Dunlop Elite's were the stock Harley Davidson tire for a long time. The gentleman I got my tires from told me that they work great on a heavy cruiser,but the harder compounds dont grip the road as well on these lighter bikes.

Your choice of tire really depends on what style of riding you plan to do.

Good luck with your new find and have fun!
