Tires DUNLOP or RIKEN
Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.
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.
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.
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.
Chinese tires now are pretty decent and are a bargain. The only serious issues I've faced surprisingly were from branded ones - I've had bubbles on Yokohama and Dunlop.
I couldn't stop at all with the Dunlops.
Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.
Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.
The very first storm I had my 22 on stock the Dunlop’s I slid through a whole intersection with abs thumping the whole time I was NOT prepared for how bad they were.
