I'm running the much maligned Dunlop 404 on the front. as I posted a couple of years ago, it feels different--not good, not bad, just...different. I may go back to a regular front MC tire when it needs changing. Very noticeable when in uneven worn pavement tracks. I don't remember my previous tire acting that way.

Don't give up yet. Some like that Dunlop, I'm not a fan though. Try the Michelin Pilot Activ rear next time. It has good handling characteristics for me. |

Been pretty happy with a Bridgestone Batlax BT45 in front - been using that one for years on Deerslayer, Jade and BluByU - '02 wing. Has 11/32 tread depth IIRC. in size 130/90-17. Tall and narrow makes for crispy handling. Not good in loose gravel.

I had a Dunlop D404, 130/90H-17 Rear Tire with Reverse Rotation installed last year. I am very pleased with it and total price (Installation and Tire) $88 Dollars. |

I am running the Shinko 712 rear on the front of my Interstate, its been on for about 2000 miles and I haven't noticed much difference, it was cheap and free delivery from Amazon.

It was new, not an old leftover. |
