BoomerCPO Posted August 14, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2013 Try Southwest Moto Tire.....I just got my Dunlop E3 for the rear....they are out of stock for the Dunlop E3 front tire tho. Boomer....who's thinking a Dunlop 404 might werk pretty good as a front tire while running a Dunlop E3 on de rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted August 14, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 14, 2013 Order your tires through Amazon. It has some kind of customer protection program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm thinking I'm gonna have to go a different tire I like the Michelin Commander II on the rear of my RSV, wish they made one for the front! I also liked the Continental Milestone, except for the poor mileage. According to Continental, you can put them on either the front or the rear. I'm not a real aggressive rider, but for me the rear stuck well in the curves and grabbed really well on braking. I've not tried it on the front, but I didn't even get 10,000 miles out of the one I had on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW Posted August 14, 2013 Share #15 Posted August 14, 2013 Get em where you can, I spoke with a Dunlop rep about 2 wks ago and he told me they have none on the shelf and production for the E3 front tire isn't scheduled to start until Aug. 19:confused24:. If they had none on the shelf 2-3wks ago you think they would move that start date up and get some tires to their distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted August 16, 2013 Share #16 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Ordered E3 from J&P today, free shipping and lists them as in stock. Other places I only found the rear. My order showed up today, I also got a no mar tire tool today. Dyna beads ordered and should be here soon. Now it's been a few years since I changed one but at 45 a tire, to change and balance a take off I'll rock it out.

I mounted these with a no mar bar and I will say it made the job alot easier. I will make some slight modifications to my setup but I should have a few miles to do it in.

Now it's been a few years since I changed one but at 45 a tire, to change and balance a take off I'll rock it out. Although I'm on record here for saying DynaBeads are a waste of money and they can't work, I've been proven wrong... Went to Pickenfreds a week or so ago and somewhere in our conversation I mentioned I had carpal tunnel in my right wrist. My hand started going to sleep immediately after installing new "balanced" Dunlop3's between 50-60 mph. Before that, i had Dunlop 404's and no vibration what so ever. He put 1 oz in the front tire and i can truthfully say my right hand hasn't gone to sleep since. Also: The slight vibration in my left mirror at 72 mph has dissapeared as well. I don't know how they work, but they do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
