Tires Tesla or DUNLOP
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.
Last two tires I ran were GPR300s. The traction was good in the corners, only negative for me was the lifetime, only 3,000mi each before having to replace.
Dunlop is a fine brand and the Sportmax is perfectly good tire. You will be fine.
They are ok tires. In the summer, when it's hot and dry, they do pretty ok. As soon as temps get close to freezing they get super hard and it's like driving on plastic rc tires. At least, that's been my experience with them.
2 sets of rubber on her for a total of 40,000km in 18 months.
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.
Almost slid into a car last year on the oem dunlops, can confirm they are dog shit wrapped in cat shit
