Dunlops are good, soft compound so have a lot of grip, I had one on the rear for a few months after a bridgestone, was fun but did waer out fast.
You said in your first post, your looking for a solid street tire that is affordable and can get a lot of miles out of, So Pilot Roads still get my vote.

When i bought my bike thats what they had. they are pretty good but they seemed a little squirly in the corners. Not sure if it was just me since it was my first time on that bike or if it was the tires.

That's a fair bit of miles to get out of a pair of tires. I'm probably around 4k on my bridestonse and they're going strong. I'll probably wind up getting 6k or so out of them, but that's me being positive in my thinking

Shoot, you want 5-10K miles on your tires? I would be surprised if I got more than 4K on my BT016's. Get some sport touring tires and don't ride too hard.

Here are some good sport touring tires: Bridgestone BT021's, Michelin Pilot Roads, Conti Road Attacks, Pirelli Diablo Strada. I can't vouch for any of these, but I've heard good things.

Ordered a new front tire today...went with the Bridgestone BT016. $101.99 shipped. My current rear tire has a couple months left in it. Thanks everyone for the advice!

I want to know why people are spelling it "TYRE" when the banner at the bottom of the page has "TIRE" written in huge letters!

Because in England they spell TIRE-TYRE...aluminum-ALUMINIUM Foreigners!

What are people using for trackday tYres?

Cheers,
