This is what I'm running.
No problems or regrets in the Louisiana heat.

No, I rode that to MV. I had to replace the front. All that I could get was a Metz. When it goes bad I will try Dunlop.
I have about 2200 miles on that CT. Love it

Just put a new Dunlop 404 180/50-17 on. Will watch the mileage I get out of it.


Riken Raptor, rides well for me at 31 PSI



And yes, I drank the Kool Aid

I love my Shinko Front tyre, handle better, turn faster(change of direction) wear slightly better 2/3 of the price of a metz
