I've been posting/asking about tire load limits, basically I've been worried about overloading, what with trailer, etc. --- I am 2nd owner of '07 audio, has CB, fog lights, and I've added a few things. I was surprised to find that the Dunlop 180/60R16 Elite3 rear has such a high load rating (80). I have checked the tires for tread, cupping, nails, etc. and double, no triple checked the pressure. I bought it from a dealer, don't know anything about the PO. What I hadn't done was look to see what Dunlop tires were mounted. It already has E3's!
I've been making tentative plans in my head to get new tires bought and mounted, figured the existing tires were OEM. Knew it wouldn't be cheap. Making comparisons of Avon/Bridgestone/Dunlop/others, and reading all the varied opinions on them. Now I'm confident that we can load up and make our trips to Ohio, another to Omaha (from Indianapolis) without the worry of overloading the rear tire. What a relief! Still open to comments/opinions on tires for the GL1800, but for now I'm set.
Thanks to all,
