Step1 go with the AVON's. I have run the Dunlops and the only one I would recommend would be the D404's, but I dont know if they make it in our size. :? I would strongly recommend NOT mixing and matching tires. That can be deadly. A mis-matched set of tires will cause all kinds of problems. The turning radius's will be different, the braking distances will be un-proportional, adhesion will be different on both ends of the bike. Man there are all kinds of problems with mixing and matching. I would really recommend you not try that.
What does Knackerd mean? Also please provide more info on this "ive stepped it"? If that means the tire has flat spots along the edges of the tread (at even intervals on both sides) that is tire pressure or it could be your forks. I have an old Gold Wing that one of the forks started to leak, I noticed the un-even wear and weird ride really quick. The most noticeable problem was radically bad braking. Because the forks were collapsing at different rates they were compressing unevenly. This resulted in "Canting" the tire from left to right. Try and picture in you mind the tread making contact with the rode. As the bike compresses closer to the tire when brakes are applied pressure will be distributed from one side of the tire to the other in an oscillating manner. Basicly like a see-saw. This will cause that type of wear. It will also cause lock ups under heavy braking. Because not all of the contact patch of the tread is connecting to the rode. If the forks feel like they chatter and you dont have a warped rotor the first place I would look is the fluid levels in your forks. If that wasn't the problem I would change the fork springs to a progressive rate spring. I dont know whowould make one that fits our bikes but beleive me they are worth more than the rear shocks.
The rear shocks keep your ass together, the fork springs keep your head on straight. :lol:
