TIRE HIGHLIGHTS

Extended Mileage

The entire new line of American Elite tires - including the black sidewall, narrow white bar sidewall and wide white wall tires - are created with Dunlop's MT Multi-Tread technology in the rear to offer higher mileage. Now owners of 2009 and later Harley-Davidson FL touring bikes can choose the sidewall style that best suits their bike, and get longer tire wear than ever before.

Handling Advantages Here to Stay

This second-generation American Elite offers a host of advantages to Harley-Davidson riders compared to the single-compound Michelin Commander II: longer wear, greater lean angle, better stability, more wet grip, more neutral steering characteristics, greater bump compliance and more, including the option of blackwall, wide-white and narrow-white wall options.
