don,t hold back ............just say it how it is...............nice one........................yea dunlops are ok for say 600/750..........i run 207/208 RR and they were a good tyre both on road and track,on my 750...............but come up the ladder a bit and get some pilot race tyres or racetecs or the good old super corces...........and these tyres are real sticky and once you,ve had em on you won.t go back to dunlops..............................does,nt meen they crap ,just not as good as the rest.........

I agree if you know what a bike does .... but if you don't like twitchyness or too much feel on the road then the 208's are shite

I had them and they felt shite I could feel everylump and bump I could feel them slide every white line I went over it was horrible and I thought it was the bike or worse me...

I put on the new avon viper xtreme's (similar to corsa's or avons answer to the corsa) and fuck me what a difference... it grips almost instantly and it don't jump around on the smallest stone... doesn't slip on white lines and give alot more confidence on tight  quick turns ...

If you ride fast don't even bother with them.... if you ride normally and want a tyre to last then they are fine... not for me I am affriad

My choice would be supercorsa or viper Xtreme's  :icon_thumright:
