Nothing Dunlop? Why - you want to buy foreign tires instead?

Have you tried all the Dunlop tires they make? ???

All I can tell you is I put Dunlop Q3's on my bike last year and believe it was the best decisions I made.
Very nice ride and never felt like they were going to slip out from under me.
They were priced competitively and made in the USA which is something I try to do when I can, because
there are so many things now a days that we have no choice on. Ever tried to buy a made in USA TV? Get my point.

Sorry if you have had a bad experience with a Dunlop tire in the past. All I know is I would buy them again.

One more thing is I went with a 190/55 and was happy with that choice too.

I have not run any Dunlop on street bikes but love them on all my MX and trail bikes. I just put a new set of Avons on my Busa so far not to impressed. I only have about 200 miles on them so I have not given up yet. It looks like the wax is gone but maybe not.

I have been running Dunlop DOT N-Tec's GP-A 207's for years now.

By far the best tire I have ever run.

Sure they are race tires, sure they are expensive, but you get what you pay for .
N-TEC FEATURES
• Softer feel in corner entry.
• Remarkable consistency in lap times over the life of the tire; fastest race laps are commonly achieved in the last few
laps of long races.
• Significant increase in corner exit grip.
• Significant increase in directional and high-speed stability.
• Wide range of acceptable suspension settings.
Dunlop’s new generation of rear tires, the N-Tec series, represents a significant departure from our former
methods of rear tire casing construction.
available in both Slick and DOT-approved versions.
Dunlop N-Tec rear tires have the N-Tec designation clearly displayed in the sidewall stencil which appears on the
LH sidewall of N-Tec rear tires.
Non-N-Tec Dunlop rear tires do not carry the N-Tec logo on their sidewalls

Not the cheapest, but I feel they are worth it!

Best of Luck Art!

He is a good dude and a Busa aficionado, has a big turbo Busa grudge bike that has been 7's in the 1/4 mile. He is the only person I trust to swap tires on my Marchesini wheels on my Duc.
