Stock Police Tires or E-3's?

I'm getting ready to replace the tires on my Road King Police bike. The original tires seem to be good for about 10,000 miles front and rear. They have been hassle free. I have never experienced the rear end wobble that people talk about and they are good in the rain. I also like the "bead retention" feature which keeps the tire on the wheel if it goes flat. I only ride one up, so the no passenger restriction for the tires does not matter to me.

People seem to really like the E-3's, so now I am considering giving them a try. Does anyone have any experience comparing the different tires?

I like E3s. My bike had the police tires on it when I got it.. I went to ME880 after those for a couple sets. I like E3s beast so far and plan to run them next set. Might as well try them, change back next time if do not like them. There are great on wet roads.

CycleGear on line you can get the front and back delivered for around 200 bucks right now. We have a store in town. A friend of mine just got both tires for 180.00 out the door.(Not mounted). Store sale ends Sept 1.
