We got conti vikingcontact 7. They've been fantastic. They were much cheaper than the Michelin's which I hear mixed reviews of.
No change in noise vs stock tires, feel like more lateral grip. We average only 1kwh/100km more on the winters vs all seasons (but it was also much colder when they were on for so I don't think they lost much efficiency).
Either way, vector 4s went on it and they were better in every way except range, which, dropped around 5% over a year - only noticeable because I bothered to compare the Mi/kwh
Getting just over 20,000 miles on my American Elites. Just about to spring for a third pair on my 19 RG. I’m sold on them. Mostly highway miles at 65mph.
- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.
One of the best tires on a Harley. Have had a problem in the past with 1 tire that was fitted on front for customer, but overall, really outstanding tire. The factory tires are also made by Dunlop, but the typical lifespan is around 3/4 of a Elite at best.
I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.
At the time we replaced ours, the major need was traction in wet and snowy weather as the base tires just sucked in the slightest amount of weather. So we got MICHELIN CrossClimate2 tires and they’ve been great for corners, rain, snow and basically everything the low rolling resistance ev tires sucked at.
I've rode Michelin commander III's for years. I've consistently got around 12-15k out of a set of tires and been a daily rider for years.
Don't drive them on bare asphalt unless you want to see them wear down quickly.
Not the answer to your question, but I just wanted to add that when I got snow tires (Pirelli Sotozero- avoid them) I also got a set of closeout 18" wheels. Having the extra sidewall when you hit potholes and/ or ice chunks helps save the rims.
