Tires DUNLOP or NANKANG
They're soft tires with a short tread life, but I like them.
In the summer, they are amazing. The grip is insane on these tires.
Driving in the south east, I've put 5k on these tires and they are great honestly. Lots of grip, no issue in torrential down pours.
Pretty good, especially if you have, or plan to get a separate set of snow tires. The sidewalls are pretty stiff compared to even other summer tires I've had before, but they grip very well wet or dry. I don't have any desire to replace them.
Honestly for me, I can’t complain. They work great for me in spirited driving in the mountains, pretty sticky in my experience and have yet to lose any traction in the rain in the mountains
I know people don’t like the stock tires but when it’s nice and warm out I think they perform pretty well.
My wife tried Q4's once - she loved the feel but completely used up a rear in a weekend on a SV650!
They blow. Not great in rain either.
Don't go Chinese, had them on low profile 19 inches, were shot and damaged in less than 15k kms. I usually stick to the big names, Dunlop best traction, bridgestone best comfort and life, Yokohama a balance of both. Last for a decent time and the overall cost was lower compared to the kms done not to undermine the sense of safety
I couldn't stop at all with the Dunlops.
