Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP

I've run both and would prefer the consistency and response of the AD09 over RS4.

The 999 rear does skid out much easier then the Dunlop American elite, however I like to skid so that is a pro for me. I ran thru 2 Dunlop elites quite quickly. For the record I did like the Dunlop AE, just didn’t like replacing it every season

The Elites are a much better tire and I’m going to miss them when they’re gone.

I run Dunlop American Elites. Mind you, I do so because it’s a good tire - not so much a ‘Made in America’ reason, albeit a plus.

AD09 was a fair bit faster and clearly had more outright grip. They were much less communicative and harder to drive and keep at the limit. I found they can be overdriven and may overheat more easily too. Grip levels were great though - they were even faster than my AR1s. The main issue is wear. They just don't last very long.

Yokohama Geolandar G015 for the win. Amazing on road manners and fantastic aired down performance with the LT variant

Dunlop SP Sport J6, my go to for budget tyres. The wet and dry performance is good although it can get a bit noisy over time.

I tried Yokohama before, while grip is good, it wears out faster.

Horrible. 7500 miles on the OEM tires. Replaced them with Cross Climate 2’s.

Old post but I’ll chime in. I’m currently running them on a ninja 400 and I don’t like them. I ride hard and ride at the track. These step out all the time and are not confidence inspiring. I’ve lost the rear a couple of times at heavy lean and nearly lost the front today (saved them all). They don’t warm up quickly either.
