I ran Dunlops on my old Honda and it was pretty hard to me to snap it loose with a 750. I could even get the 530lb thing up on one with 'em They're not as bad as people make 'em out to be, but my Metzelers were much better when I finally did switch.

Yeah im probably going to replace them in the next 500 or so miles. It's weird because the two times it happened I wasn't going that fast, maybe like 35 one time and 45 the other time. Both times it happened at the end of a ride, i seem to be able to put down power well once settled into the corner though, and i know i wasn't breaking hard enough to warrant what happened.

I have a theory that if more than one person tells you something about something...you should look into it...

i only got 3k miles out of mine and they were garbage, the diablos i have now have a little over 10k on them and still ride nice, you dont have to force the bike down in corners like the dunlops......

dunlop street tires suck... for now. until they release the qualifiers next year, their street tires are crap. do your self a favor, and toss those things away, and get yourself a set of pilot powers...(i must say i have heard good things about dunlop race tires though)

i dont know..


i think I'm going to try them next time. the pilots do seem to last a bit longer but I'm not sure if thats just cause they are harder than the corsa's.

I'm spotting everyone a 100lbs and going thru the same corners at the same speed they are... so it gives me piece of mine to be on soft tires. so I'm still kinda up in the air about it

I always ran Diablo Corsas. But I have a set of Pilot Powers on my bike right now to try them out. I have to say that I like the Corsa's better. There's a list of reasons why, but I'm not in the mood to type right now. LOL
