    My oem Dunlops were the biggest pieces of shit! I went with Michelin 2CT's and love 'em.

    I have 3500 on my OEM Dunlops and they less then 50% left. Very dissapointed with these ones, cant wait to get Michelins on. Has anyone had any real good experiences with other tires?

    Mine looked just like that after 6800 kms with a touch of cord showing through. While they were on the bike they also made the side to side transitions horrible. Is it any wonder that this bike didn't get better reviews? Seriously why do manufacturers or the public ever buy a second set of these Bridgestone pieces of shit? They were garbage 20 years ago and they haven't improved. Immediately after getting my bike back with Pilot Road 2s last night the bike handled better than it ever has up to this point.
