Tires DUNLOP or FEDERAL
I’ve got Dunlop Winter Sport 5 195/55 R16 87H and they’re great. Consumption, noise and grip all well balanced.
I have dunlop mutants on my husaberg supermoto. I love them but the sides tear up pretty quickly under hard use. They're nice and sticky though!
I just wanted to share my opinion of the Dunlop Mutants after about 3000km of fixed use (highway touring, mountain twists, commuting, and fire/gravel/cottage roads in wet/dry/cold conditions. The tires are brilliant and my new favourite road tire.
Federal command 2.4s have been my favorite so far. Smooth center tread for good rolling and speed retention, but still have some tread on the side for banking and grind protection. Rubber compound they use is also getting softer with time/riding so they feel better the more worn in they get.
But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.
RS-RR's are good for wear also but way longer to overheat when pushed. They squeal and moan like crazy though and finding the limit of grip is very hard.
Our original tyre size is relatively cheap, i hope youve learned and spent 30 bucks a wheel more next time.
I run Dunlop sport bluresponse wich are fine, about 55 euros a piece.
I made the mistake of driving my 2018 on summer tires too late into the fall. There was no controlling it - the tires had no traction.
Yes and they sucked. I was lucky to have a very mild winter but I remember one day when it was probably around 25 with a fresh dusting of snow and they were ice skates.
I was naive and thought I'd be able to get away with the stock Dunlop tires until my breaks locked up on a snowy road approaching a red light at 5mph. Get some all weather tires asap!
