Thanks all. Think I'm going with the Bridgstones, they seem to be the best bang for the buck. Done a little research on the Shinkos and didn't like what I read, too many people who say they'd never buy them again, etc.

I would buy Avon, all things being equal, but they are over prices in today's market. Great tires tho.

Did you check www.americanmototire.com ?  290.04 total for the Bridgestone R702R & R701F set.  409.83 for the Dunlop E3's.  Metzlers 373.28.

I think Dunlops went up because they had to cover all the returns from interior bubbles....at least my last generation Elitesanyway (and I had to pull teeth to simply get directline to advocate for me back to Dunlop but when they finally did engage then on my behalf, Dunlop cheerfully refunded my costs).
