Dunlop AE2 Front Tire 130/70B18 63H Blackwall Harley Touring Cruiser V-Twin Motorcycle Tire

OVERVIEW

The Dunlop AE2 front tire delivers targeted traction and load-bearing capacity for heavy V-twin motorcycles via a 130/70B18 profile and 63H rating. This tubeless motorcycle tire features a bias-belted construction and a blackwall finish designed specifically for Harley-Davidson touring and cruiser platforms. Reinforced internal components maintain chassis stiffness while supporting sustained highway travel.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

The tubeless bias-belted foundation ensures secure mounting while promoting balanced surface contact and effective heat dissipation during extended road operation. A built-in cut-breaker component shields internal plies from debris penetration, protecting the casing from impact stress inherent in V-twin torque loads. The structured touring tread design enhances steering feedback and high-speed stability, while the modified polymer matrix sustains reliable friction on wet pavement to mitigate hydroplaning risks.

KEY FEATURES

• Bias-belted carcass layout optimizes steering feedback and high-speed stability.
• Cut-breaker reinforcement protects inner plies from debris penetration and impact stress.
• Touring-oriented groove architecture promotes even wear distribution across the crown.
• Modified polymer matrix sustains friction coefficients in rain-treated pavement.
• Tubeless valve interface enables rapid deployment and precise pressure calibration.
• 63H load and velocity indices satisfy heavyweight cruiser OEM mounting specifications.
• Structured touring tread profile ensures balanced surface contact and efficient heat dissipation.
• Blackwall finish with forward-facing wheel installation capability.
• Dunlop AE2 designation for targeted traction and durability.
• Direct upgrade over previous commercial rubber configurations.
