Anyone tried the Dunlop Elite 3 for the rear yet?

[Fast351]

I'm getting the Metzeler ME880 setup (front and rear, went with the 170 in the back, hope for no washer swap) but a buddy of mine got a set of Dunlop E3s for his bike and really liked them. I went to dunlop's website, and the Qualifier and the E3 seem to be REALLY close in size:

SIZE LOAD/ SPEED INDEX SIDEWALL PART # APPLICABLE RIMS
Rec. Rim OVERALL DIAMETER OVERALL WIDTH FULL TREAD DEPTH MAXIMUM LOAD @ PSI

K525:

150/90-15 74V RWL 4213-50 3.50 25.57 6.26 8/32 825 @ 40


E3:

MV85B15 77H BW 4079-45 3.50 25.50 6.02 11/32 910 @ 40


Looks like a 1/4" narrower, H instead of V, but better load rating.

Just wondering if anyone's tried them and what they thought...

I put the Dunlop Qualifiers on the front and the rear,never did a burnout....I got about 4000kms on the tire and it needs to be replaced already!!I'm gonna go with a Metzler myself....Dunlop didn't last very long and it wasn't cheap!!!!!

Dunlop on the VMax just don't seem to hold up long. 4 or 5 K Miles
and their Toast.
