The Dunlop AE2 rear motorcycle tire is designed for V-twin cruiser and touring motorcycles, including current and earlier models requiring a 240/40R18 rear fitment. With a 79V speed rating, this tire is engineered to support the performance demands of high-torque motorcycles while delivering dependable road manners for everyday riding and touring applications. The manufacturer part number and vendor part number are both 45252471.
Cut-breaker construction strengthens the tire casing to help manage the weight and torque produced by large V-twin motorcycles. This robust internal construction supports confident handling and durability under demanding riding conditions. Updated front and rear tire compounds are formulated to improve wear resistance while enhancing wet-weather performance, helping provide consistent traction across changing road conditions.
The optimized tread pattern promotes even wear characteristics and extended mileage, making the Dunlop AE2 a practical replacement for riders seeking long-term performance from a rear touring or cruiser tire. Confirm that your motorcycle accepts the 240/40R18 79V specification and that the tire is intended for the rear position before installation. Professional installation and balancing are recommended.
