The second segment is the final one in our series from Brisbane, Australia. Don has just returned from a successful two-day, 750-mile round trip on the GT and it seems that overall, he was quite impressed by the bike. In this week’s first segment Editor Don Williams brings us his thoughts on Suzuki’s eagerly awaited GSX-S 1000 GT… that’s the sport touring version of the company’s upright naked sport bike. Hello everyone and welcome once again to Motos and Friends, a weekly podcast brought to you by the editorial team at Ultimate Motorcycling. We will make a final report when the tires are at the end of their lives. Of course, in addition to the day-to-day, all-purpose road performance characteristics, total service mileage is a key performance indicator we’ll be tracking. Used Dunlop Elite 4 rear tire.The Dunlop Elite 4 tires have proven to be very stable and planted for acceleration, cornering, deceleration, and braking (with non-ABS brakes) on both wet and dry pavement. Instead, it has sipes that angle toward the tread shoulder, leaving substantial tread in the primary load-bearing part of the tire. The rear tire does not use a central rain groove like the front model. Dunlop claims, “With the all-new Elite 4, you could cross the country six times before needing to replace your tires.” With a long-wear compound in the middle of the tread pattern and the shoulders made of a lateral-grip compound, the Elite 4 is designed to deliver long range and stable cornering.The front Dunlop Elite 4 tire has a central rain groove with sipes that angle toward it but don’t connect to it. Used front Dunlop Elite 4 motorcycle tire.The rear Elite 4 features what Dunlop calls Multi-Tread (MT) compound. The worn measurements were taken at various points in the tires and averaged. The back started with a tread depth of 0.312 inches and is down to 0.163 inches. The front tread depth has gone from 0.188 inches to 0.091 inches. The front tire has 8062 miles on it, while the replacement rear tire has racked up 4547 miles. As of this writing, with 2021 drawing to a close, there are 30,692 miles on the odometer. Note that road hazard damage such as a puncture is not covered under warranty.The review began in May 2018 with 22,630 miles on the Sportster’s odometer. However, we’ll have to keep the mileage mismatch between the front and rear tire in mind when it comes time to sum things up. Dunlop provided a replacement tire for the review, and so we continue. Tread wear was evidenced by some flattening of the tread profile, though there was a lot of service life left. The rear tire had 3515 miles on it when the puncture took it out of service.
“For Want of a Nail”In August 2019, the long-term Elite 4 review hit a snag-or more precisely, a nail through the rear tire’s tread. There are also radial versions of the Elite 4. Both Dunlop Elite 4 motorcycle tires tested bias-ply construction and were used as tubeless tires, though they can be mounted on a rim that requires a tube.
