Tires OEM BMW or DUNLOP
I rode them on a friends t7. I really liked them, from my impression they really deliver on that "50/50"-saying of Dunlop. They have a very stiff sidewall which helps with punctures (compared to let's say a anakee wild).
I love the trail max missions on my GS. They last well too, at 9k miles right now.
Just ran the Dunlop's for a week on dirt and found them to be vastly better than the STRs. There was no perceivable compromise on the road either. The Dunlop has stiff sidewalls and can be aired down to even 18 psi (which I did for some gnarly single track).
I rode with q4's in the rain yesterday and alittle today. Did well on the track for B group.
I can’t speak for the pirelli, but the Q4’s offer lots of grip until you get to a good racing pace. After that you need slicks.
I got about 22,000 miles out of them. I never had any problems with grip, but they did wear out fast.
guys at the tire shop i go to said that you get good value for money with dunlop tires. they’re high quality but cost less than bridgestone or michelin. i’ve not noticed much of a difference so far as compared to michelin.
Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.
My Dunlops were noisy and slippery (when wet) when they were brand new and then got obnoxiously loud after 20k miles, i finally got rid of them around 25k miles and switched to Continentals.
