Dunlop Motorcycle Tyres Q2

Dunlop created the first tire manufacturing facility in the United States in 1920 and to this day, Dunlop motorcycle tires are the only motorcycle tires manufactured in the US. Since the creation of the first pneumatic tire by Dunlop in 1888, Dunlop motorcycle tires list of accomplishments is impressive to say the least. Dunlop was first to use Kevlar belts, first to utilize radials, first to create the 20-inch off-road tire, and first to develop a premium tire for mini-bike riders. It's no wonder Dunlop motorcycle tires are the choice of many serious motorcycle riders.

Just a little advise about tire balancing.......
It has come to our attention, that some "motorcycle shops", have reverted back to the procedure, known as "static" wheel balancing.
A system that does not take into account "notched" bearings, or even worn bearing
There defense for using this system is :
That's how mitchelin, Dunlop, and others do it at the "race track", implying that if it is good enough for "Joe racer", it should be good enough for you.
Well, no.
As with other things "racing" ie: clutches, brakes, tires, spark plugs, ignition timing, air filters, oil, undersized drive chains, and sprockets, carbon fiber wheels, and exhaust, and many, many other things, that are OK at the track, BUT have NO PLACE in the real world, of street riding, commuting, and touring
I get in the 3k-8k range on an F3
Mostly depends on how I'm riding. 3K is certainly not unreasonable for someone that spends their whacking the throttle or doing a lot of track days.
One of the negative parts of motorcycle reality is that what you save on gas (vs a car) is almost eaten up by what you spend on tires.
It's hard to get a set of sportbike tires for less than $250, with a $300-$350 figure being more likely.
Cycle Gear used to (and may still) give you 10% off tires and "chemicals" if you had one of their Visa cards and used it for purchases.
Here's one thing. Sportbike tires are fairly soft - that why they stick as well as they do

Like Author says, I had mine bubble up in three
Places. I was riding at night and running 70 or so on the interstate for 100 miles and really didn't notice anything.
The next day I took it to go get parts and felt it, the knots were pretty nasty looking and the tire was about 1/3rd used up. I go through about 2 1/2 sets of tires a year, so they don't have time to get "stale" unless they arrive that way.
I liked um pretty well up to that point, they'd lay over nice on the road and seemed to inspire confidence. They were more dirt oriented then the Dunlops I'd been running and made more noise. I'll probably stick with my Lops, all in all they've served me well and I've grown confident they'll hold togeather till the cords show
