lstayner chronicles his use of them in this thread -- http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=13831&st...

What area of AL are you in? I live on the AL/GA line right where I85 crosses.

There is a new E3 called E3 MT.

Dunlop's MT Multi-Tread rear tire incorporates a long wearing compound in the center of the tire tread and a lateral grip compound on each shoulder.

I have the E3 MT on now and am getting great mileage out of it.

Michelin doesn't make a tire specifically to fit the Vision, and the one you are looking at is a bias ply tire while the E3 MT is a radial tire.

As far as I know, Avon and Dunlop are the only ones who make a tire that meets our Vision's specs.

Have a Commander II on the rear with a Metzeler ME 880 on front. 7,000+ miles with no issues and great tread life.
