Thank you
@1olbull. I was about to start a new thread to get back to the question of the H50. Maybe no one else on the forum has sampled one (?), so I'll give it a try and report back.
The review you shared from Cycle World is pretty glowing. Supposedly the tire will last twice as long ("claims to have increased the milage of the Battlecruise H50 by about 100 percent over there closest competitor").
On handling.... "reduction of 40 percent less input over the closet competitor could be achieved. They did this by increasing the contact patch of the front tire which provides a more uniform contact pressure distribution. This in effect reduces the amount of deflection of the tire which enables the profile to sustain a constant attitude though out the whole turning process. It can take a lot to get a big cruiser to turn especially at slow speeds so after a full day of riding, you might be worn out. Easier turning equals less fatigue."
Hmmm, if all that is true I wish they made a rear version for us too. The Exdra is great, but I push to get more than 5k miles out of one.
I have, maybe, a month to go before I'll need to order. I'll chime back in once I've had time to see how it feels compared to the Dunlop on the front.
