I weigh about 210, ride one up almost always, don't carry a lot of stuff in my Ultra, ride easy and religiously watch my tire air pressure. I try to keep about 8 pounds of air in my shocks. The indy that replaced my tire said they'd seen a few OEM tires wear like my tire did, but not many. Like I said, my E3 looks good at nearly the same mileage and riding conditions that I replaced my OEM tire.

I contacted Dunlop about the tire and received a little advertising leaflet. Big help.
