Dunlop American Elite Tires in Orange County — MTC
Motorcycle Tire Center in Orange, CA stocks the Dunlop American Elite for Harley-Davidson riders and V-twin cruiser enthusiasts across Orange County — from Anaheim and Fullerton to Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, Huntington Beach, and Irvine. The American Elite is Dunlop's dedicated domestic cruiser tire: designed, built, and tested in the USA specifically for the demands of heavy touring bikes, loaded two-up riding, and long-haul mileage in any weather. If you're putting serious miles on a bagger and need a tire that earns its keep across the full service life, this is one of the strongest options in the segment.
What makes the American Elite stand out is its balance of scores that actually matter for cruiser riders: an 8.6 in street manners, 8.4 in mileage, and a genuine 8.2 wet grip rating that holds up when Orange County marine layer turns coastal roads slick. Available in both blackwall and whitewall finishes, it's a tire that performs where it counts and looks correct on classic and modern V-twins alike. Track capability is modest — this isn't a canyon-carving sport tire — but everything else about the American Elite is tuned for the rider who measures success in trouble-free cross-country miles.
MTC offers walk-in mounting and balancing on the American Elite at straightforward pricing: $69 mount, $9.95 balance, and $3.50 disposal per tire — well below what dealers typically charge. We carry the American Elite at below-MSRP pricing and can usually get you in and out the same day. Ride in to our Orange County shop or call us at (714) 516-9059 to confirm your size is in stock and get on the road.
