 Grin  My don't have to work..up early, sat. morning ride...WOWOWOWOW...

Those tires are 'da shite' man!

DIFFERENT bike, completely...bondafide sport touring machine now man...drag the pegs, no prob... a bit of gravel...'whatever'...tar snakes....whatever...'with caution of course..


I simply cannot believe how much betterof a tire the Michys are over them crap Dunlops...


Honda should make these tires standard on the bike...almost like the tire was made for the bike...

Pisses me off that I spent as much money as I did on this bike and had to replace the tires...

If you don't have them...GET THEM...

I noticed the bike turned better with just the rear PR4GT.

Adrian, don't beat around the bush.....tell us what you really think. 2funny 2funny 2funny 2funny

Thanks for the update.  Now I know what I will get when the Dunlops wear out.  Although, I have not had any problems with my oe tires. I would like something that will last longer and handles better.

That's exactly what i was going to say, but I figured I've given Adrian enough crap over the OEM tire! Cheesy
I too haven't had a problem with the OEM's, but that doesn't mean they can't be improved. Most OEM tires are middle of the road tires, just like the brakes, shocks and seats! angel

The OEM Dunlop tire was so slippery on wet roads and it was impossible for me to drive the way I usually do : carefully, peacefully but easily etc. When I reached 24,000 km/15,000 miles, the tire slipped one time too many (driving slowly on a wet road, before the ABS even engaged) and though I could use the tire until 27' km, to say the least, I changed it for the PR4 GT. Enough is enough !  Angry

3,000 km after, the fact is that the PR4 GT never slips on wet roads and thus, driving is so much more confortable  angel

This is key...and something I forgot to mention...the bike not only handles way better...I mean turns sharply and quickly...but it also rides softer!
