Dunlop are what Harley put on the bike, they work just fine, just make sure you get rubber that can be guaranteed to be new, like produced within the last 2 months, otherwise dry rot could be a problem. that's where you start getting the cracks in the tread.
 
Hi,
I was running metzler tires when I change my wheels to 18" the last set I bought I had problem with them coming apart between tire thead and side wall so I change to Pirelli so far 3500 miles no problem I hope they last as I was told to expext 9000 to 12000 miles on the tires we will see!!!!!!!:bigsmiley11:
 
I ran Metzlers on my other bikes and had good results. Unfortunately for the SG, the only thing available for the rear is the Dunlop through HD.:(
 
Still have the original dunlops on, no problems and are wearing well. I will probably stick with them. I've tried many brands on different bikes but have never really noticed a difference. I guess I don't push either the bike or the tires hard enough to discriminate a difference in brands.
