Elite 3 Radial Tire New range of radial touring tires deliver great mileage and handling for all big radial-shod touring motorcycles. Wear resistance is now substantially improved with more even-wear characteristics providing increased mileage, plus great traction. The new E3 tread pattern provides class-leading wet-pavement performance, even while riding through large puddles of standing water. New tread pattern is not affected by rain grooves, steel bridge decks, or tar stripes, resulting in less front-end hunting and more consistent feel. The E3's sport-derived profile provides a livelier response in turn transitions and a solid feel through turns for confident cornering.
