Re:Dunlop Elite 3 Rear tire 8 Years, 5 Months ago  
cedarrapidstire.com has some decent pricing. But with shipping and my patience level, I ended up getting mine locally from iron pony. Their website is ironpony.com. I went with black wall dunlop d404's cause I'm a cheap ass. I think I paid 232 for both tires and new tubes. Plus 60 for a balancer from harborfreight. I wish I would of known they had a motorcycle tire bead breaker for 15 before I did my tires by hand. That would of saved me about an hours worth of grunting and 3 hours worth of cussing. I kept the stock tire sizes, mostly because when my speedo is reading 65mph, traffic around me isn't going any faster or slower, with my worn out www d404's.

I don't like Dunlop's and will never ride them again. Pirelli, Metzeler, of CommanderII tires are all great, but you will never see Dunlops on my bike no matter how cheap they are. People like them and thats cool, that is just my own $.02.
