Dunlop AE2 Rear Motorcycle Tire 180/65B16 81H

Mileage and wet grip for V-twin touring and cruisers

The Dunlop AE2 180/65B16 81H rear tire is built for V-twin touring and cruiser motorcycles. Dunlop pairs updated compounds with a revised tread pattern for longer wear and more confidence in the wet.

• Multi-Tread rear compound: A long-wearing center compound is flanked by grip-focused shoulder compounds for mileage without giving up cornering grip.
• Cooler-running tread: A higher land ratio in the middle of the AE2 tread helps reduce heat build-up and improve wear.
• Wet grip when leaned over: Increased shoulder grooving helps the tire handle wet roads in corners.
• Aramid-cord casing: Supports handling, stability and load capacity for touring and cruiser bikes.
