Tires DUNLOP or GT Radial

Here's the reality, it really really works on the road 6 tires and on the Dunlop Elite 4s. I had all the road versions on my ST1300 and these are the best in the wet so far. The Elite 4s on my wing were phenomenal even on sketchy mountain roads with it pissing rain on us.

But I remember back in the day (PS4s are ancient now) when I swapped from Dunlop SportMaxx RT2s to PS4s and two things stood out - how much mechanical grip they have, and how long they take to warm up.

On cold mornings, they genuinely felt like track slicks. The Dunlops would be "warmed up" and gripping fine by the time I reached the main road - maybe half a mile.

The PS4s, on the other hand, would still feel twitchy and unpredictable halfway to work (~18 miles). It took a good 8-9 miles before they came in. And before they warm up, they are very on/off - loads of mechanical grip, but almost no compound grip, so they can suddenly let go.

We got GT Radial direct from Madtracks Auto for around ₱5,000 per piece for 265/60/R18. I'd say 2nd tier for performance but durability is on par or better than the high end models of the high end brands.

Bought mine this summer, they are AMAZING! Just yesterday I was driving in snowfall when the roads weren't great, I've had almost zero issues with them.

I paid about $65 per tire (225/40/18) + shipping and then had a local tire shop mount them. They have been great in all conditions (N. Carolina) during the 8,000mi they’ve been on.

An easy performance mod is lighter wheels with track tires, the stock dunlops are alright but pretty underwhelming for being a 200treadwear tire. If you want better ride quality, switch to a high performance all season.

Uzeo sad Dunlop Winter. Ne winter sport 5 nego samo Winter. Zasad ok na ovom mokrom.

Dunlop m/s nove cetiri gume stavljene, i dva puta me okrenulo za 180 stepeni u krivini pritom nisam isao vise od 15ak na sat, otprilike da su mi uvalili neke replike dunlopa ????

To add to other comments, I had a Dunlop catastrophically fail going 90 mph, it was my rear wheel and it was a wild ride for 10 secs, I came out fine but my bike took quite a beating

Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.
