which bridgestones did you get?

Anyone know anything about the Dunlop elite 3?
I used the Dunlop elite 3, it's a good handling tire but it didn't last as long as either the avon or the metz. Also it's a little wider the the others, I had to spread my front fender a little so it didn't rub.
 
The Michelin Commander II I had came off prematurely at 8,500 miles so that I could fit a matched set of Exedra Max radials front and rear. I estimate that it would have been good for about 10,000 miles had I used it up. The tire was balanced, as all off my motorcycle tires are, with Dyna Beads and it wore very evenly. It is touted by Michelin as an extended mileage tire...

thanks for all the info guys.

I'm thinking I'll try the avon cobra first. Seems to have worked for a lot of guys.

I guess I'm back at the original question though. H or V rated?
I'm thinking H. Just for longevity and I doubt I'll ever get over 130 on this thing.

Don't be too sure. ;) But if you're tempted to try, take the windshield off, I had a scary wobble at that speed, that I blame on the barn door fork mounted windshield.
