    hi,

    i got the dunlop gt502 on the wide glide which I understand is the SE 180 tyre kit, got 14000kms on the original, probably could of got another 1000

    ended up getting peter stevens geelong to put another dunlop gt502 (genuine HD tyre) on, I like the width, I cant tell if it is a superior handling tyre as I do mostly freeway/country road cruising, I keep the pressure at about 40-42psi cold

    have an avon venom 90/90-21 on front, has 10000kms on it and still looking good, maybe get to 20000kms with it,

    thanks

    I've just come up to 10,000 klms on my wide glide and the scorcher has been a good tyre but both the front and rear are ready to be replaced at the same time great.
    I've been looking at a few options but there is only a choice of five tyres for the back
    but what I did notice is if you drop the size down to a 180/55 17 there is a lot more choice there cant be that much difference between 180/60 17 and 180/55 17

     Hi llinmac,

    i gonna try the Dunlop d407 or commander 2 on the wg next, the d407 a little bit harder but also slightly deeper tread from what I can ggather
