I ran Dunlop Elite's on mine for years. No complaints.

When I had my 1500, E-3's were what I used...........

Some don't like the noise from the 3's...It didn't bother me. I got good
mileage and no cupping.

tommyboy,
leatherup.com has started carrying m/c tires and has a front and a rear for the GL1500. i just bought a pair for $170 shipped to put on an GL1500.
Note, They only list I think one brand that has both front and rear for the GL1500. I look at it as all tires wear out,regardless of brand so just get whatever is avaliable and ride!
they will have a father's day sale,,maybe 10% off everything,if you wait a couple days.
just a consideration.

take care,
BC

1500 tires

Hey I just bought a 1500 and need tires. Can you help me with further information on those tires for 170?

 

[GL1500]

I ran Metzeler 880's for years, love 'em. Sticky and faily long lasting, never had a manufacturing defect in the 12 years I've run them.
