New Dunlop E4s

Post by Tonyvdb »

So been doing alot of reading and it seems early tests indicate that the new E4 is a better tire than the E3 was.

Looks good. Available in bias and radial. I agree. Next tire change is going to be an E4. Thanks for researching. :thmup:

They might by the time I need a tire change. I see on their website they make a Bias E4 with the tire size of 170/80B15. That should fit our rims eh?

The diameter of the 170/80 is only 2mm higher, ( 25.4mm is 1 inch ), not much at all.
I can't speak for the rim width though, as the tire is about 27/32" wider at the tread.

After they came out with the new E-3s it took over 3 years to get it in a 15 inch. I know we could get the front 16 but no rear. :-O
