## Description

Sizes available in black (BW) narrow-white (NW) and wide-white (WWW) sidewalls for older Harley-Davidson models. The American Elite delivers enhanced tire mileage thanks to an MT Multi-Tread rear tire compound that incorporates a long-wearing compound in Dunlop’s American Elite is the only aftermarket tire line for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles that’s designed and tested in the U.S.A. Available in 28 options to fit most Harley-Davidsons, the American Elite features MT Multi-Tread rear-tire technology for great handling and high mileage. Sizes available for newer and older Harley-Davidson models and select Victory and Indian® motorcycles. V-Twin - Meant for American-made iron. Multi-Tread - Two compounds in the same tread give riders great mileage without sacrificing handling.

Review: Better than the Original American Elite - Had my reservations about this tire even though I have always run on American Elites. Had concerns about the tread pattern and how well it would shed water. After about 8000 miles on the tire in wet, dry, hot and cold weather conditions, the tire has performed above expectations and seems to be wearing at a normal rate. The tire rides well on long runs and sticks in the curves. Rode the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee in wet conditions and the tire never broke traction. Would recommend this tire to anyone looking for a good all-weather tire.
