Anyone use Dunlop D208GP's yet???

[dalynchmob4]

Hey guys... looking for a new rear tire and I found a lot of good feedback on the Storms, Stradas, and Attacks... has anyone used the Dunlop D208GPs yet?? I'm mainly looking for a "higher mileage" tire (I've got BT021 on the rear now with 5K miles on it) and I was leaning towards the Storms but then I saw the Dunlops... oh yea... if it matters, I still have the 021 on the front. Thanks for any info.

I thought they were a softer tire.. the KTM's at the MotoGp had them on and they looked pretty soft..

Super sticky track tire. Will wear very quickly.. Dunlop TireD208 GP

cool... thanks bro... I found some for $125 for the rear, but it really didn't say much about "tread life" on that particular tire... I just always thought that a "track tire" would be more expensive than that...

the Avon Storm has been getting pretty good reviews.. never rode one but the left coast guys seem to like them

Personally..
For rear tire center wear+good edge grip, I would recommend a Pilot Road 2.
But that's just me.

Edit: A place to get 'em cheap, scroll to the 190/50-17, $184.00 plus shipping.. http://www.motoxoutlet.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=507014

Actually.. I have it down to 3 choices... the Storms, PR2s, and the Stradas... now I'm just trying to make up my mind...

Go with the Storms. They're excellent especially in the wet. Lasts a long time, too. If you do lots of highway riding, you can't go wrong with the Storms.

If you are going to keep the dunlop on the front, I'd go with a dunlop on the rear as well.

High mileage out of a 208GP ???



It's a softer tire that works well at the race track...not meant for durability
