Dunlop claims that the Elite 4 can go on for “miles and miles and miles” with such high-mileage that you could allegedly cross the US six times before even needing to replace it. Utilizing the classic MT Multi-Tread technology of Dunlop, the Elite 4 has a long-wearing compound in the center of the tire and a lateral-grip compound on each shoulder that makes for an increased mileage without having to sacrifice handling.
