Default Dunlop 205 ???

Anyone have experience with them? I'm ordering tires in a few days and I'm happy with the Dunlop 208/218's so I'm sticking with them. I have over 7000 miles on mine... yes, it's really time to change them now. But while reading reviews, I noticed the 205's get the same reviews but list "longer lasting". The same Z speed rating and so on.... and claims not performance loss.

Ive had no experience in them but the pilot powers you probably heard of them and how great they are as far as stickiness and long lasting....

No problem


The only reason my Dunlops lasted 7000 miles... I do a lot of long distance trips.

I had 205s and they were ok when they warmed up, got about 10,000kms from the with rear quite a few wheelies towards the end. I have bt020s at the moment and they are supposed to get better milage and perform better in the wet. In the dry I think the 020s feel better
