I would pick the General, followed closely by the Potenza.

I am in agreeance. The Dunlop is not symetrical. I have a tire that looks like it came off Grandmas Buick so I might not be the best person to ask   |

congrats on going darkside! we have been there for 6 years now. Had great luck with bridgestone and goodyear tires, just remember to match up your pattern with your front tire(as close as possible) so you won't get the "wiggles"  |

"Whats your thoughts on this one?"
Not a symmetrical tread pattern. A directional, symmetrical tread minimizes the road defect tracking that some experience.

Try the Goodyear TT, I have more than 25,000 on mine and love it, will replace it with the same but it looks like it will go a good bit further right now.

Just went to the Darkside this past Wed.
My Choice came down to the General you got listed and GYear Triple tread and I went with the GYear.
Put on nearly 800 miles since then. Think I got it broke in. I am nearly broke in as well. LOL
36 psi seems to be the magic number.
Getting to like the darkside more and more.

I am running the Goodyear Triple Tread since spring 14,000 miles so far. It still looks like new and handles like a dream. The patten is like the Altimax that you are looking at.

Rainman...
Of the tree choices you posted, 1) General Altimax
2) Potenza
3) Wouldn't own a Dunlop.
Have you considered the "Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread" as others have mentioned, It's proven in the Valkyrie community.
