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.
Made in the USA
Dunlop's American Elite is the only aftermarket tire line for Harley-Davidson motorcycles that is designed, tested and manufactured in the USA. The sidewall design even proudly features the American Elite name and MT Multi-Tread
logo on rear tires. True to its name, the American Elite is truly an elite tire, made to roam the far expanses of America.
