Elite 4 seems to be the current winner.

It is what is on mine and I like them so far, but they are the only tires I have had on it, so nothing to compare it to.

The Dunlops that were on my 1500 when I got it howled like hell in the corners and the bike handled like a truck.
I switched to a Michelin Commander II on the front and a car tire on the rear.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Now the bike handles great and no more howling in the corners.
Just my two cents.

I prefer round ones. The square type are very hard to mount.

You're probably using the wrong rivet gun.

If I use boots, will it work on a Goldwing?

On my 93 I dark sided the rear and I'll be doing the Shinko up front soon (I personally HATE the Dunlops). I also like the Shinko 777HD and the new Bridgestones, and yes, the Michelins....

Elite 4 is a great choice. I was on E3's and got 19k. I am on the 4's now and seemingly on my way to similar results which include excellent handling and low noise. That, so long as you ensue proper care of your tires.

Cheers,
