The elite 111 s are not yet available this side of the globe ,but my experience with Dunlop is bad grip in the wet ,,I changed to AVON on my 1500 and never looked back ,I got 13000 miles out of them I went through 2 sets in one year ,I use my bike winter and summer ,now I have an 1800 and it came with Dunlops and same problem ,,no grip in the wet ,I have recently changed to bridgestones (latest type 704 and 709 ) and these are proving to be excellent ..this subject is covered almost every month on the forum ,if you type in tyre or tire in the search box you will get all the info you need ,,,BTW the elite 3s for the 1500 are a cross belt and for the 1800 they are Radial..cheers Ciaran:waving:
