Bridgstone Exedra G 701. It was the mate for the rear. I don't have any experience with tires for these bikes, so I'm just trying them out. These were the cheapest option.

That Dunlop Elite 4 I just ordered is $350, hope it sticks.

that is a Bridgestone G701
i just installed one on my 07 and it seems to ride good.
the question is will it scrape the floorboards or slide off the road ? a little scared to find out lol

I think the set of Bridgestones cost about $425 from Rocky mountain ATVMC. Rear seems good so far

I bit the bullet for one recently too. So far, really liking it. I used to run it on the Roadster III I had.

For once I forgot to record my mileage when I mounted that Elite, but it wore faster than anything and unevenly. I suspect it was 3k to 3.5k miles at most. Bearings are good and no fork oil leaks. I hand balanced it OCD and hasn't thrown any weights. Just mounted another Brigestone and will see how it does.

Time to tell the tell
I have ran the Avon for years and once even brought it back up after the bike was sliding on the frame. I love my Bridgestone and a on.
Not having Avon I went with the Bridgestone and I am not a happy camper.
I do not know the proper terminology so I will call it a bad wobble like when you see in the races where three riders make the cor an the the fourth rider does a noble then gets his ass lauched into the air.
Driving normal this tire would be good
But I am not normal so while going a corner dragging the pedals it did that wobble the corner had a reccomend speed of 45 and I was doing about 70+ waiting for the launch which never came.
Yesterday I hade passed a few cars so speed wise 95+ and the road curved slightly then the wobble (one of those ahh **** moments)
So now I am afraid of the bike and driving 20 mph slower. Seems to do ok at 5000 rpm in fifth.
Sure wish I had an avon.
