What kind of tires you running?

I've got Dunlop Roadsmarts on right now, and I like them. They stick well enough for me, and the harder center compound has been great for commuting. I may try the Pilot Road 2 at some point, but the Dunlops were cheaper this time around.

BT003 Race Front Soft....BT003 Race Medium rear

Street only this year, but I only run canyons. The tires are super super awesome turn in is awesome and grip is beyond grippy.

I've run these on the track as well. I LOVE these tires.

Also, the tires lasted 8 months...front and rear actually lasted the same.

Sounds like someone's been hanging around the Junior High school girls! You should've said "like" a few times for good measure.

I"m running a Duro HF918 rear right now on my Hurricane. going to get a matching front soon too. I think its a good street tire, bias ply construction but hey, it fits nicely and feels really stable.

I buy my tires directly from a shop here that I absolutely love. anyone who knows pureacceleration will know what I'm talking about. I love spending time down there, even if I dont buy nothin, the shop still rocks just to hang out at.

My bike has Dunpoop 208's on it now... They are to the wearbars and I wouldn't be surprised if I rotated the tire and saw metal someplace... Didn't think they'd crap out that quick on a 450 round trip jaunt for turkey... Got some decisions to be makin' now...

I'm suprised you didn't just buy new tires right away OSP... those 208's are fuck'n shit. you considering any sport touring tires with the lack of corners down there?

BobTheBiker · 11-28-2008, 12:40 AM
