Jesus Ebbs, I haven't even had the bike a fucking week yet... Tires were on the short list when I first looked at it though...

I'd be more than happen to... What is this shop's name? I could certainly make a voyage out that way...

2CT's are where I'm leaning, but I might just say fuck it and rock some Road 2's... I don't see myself pushing this bike in any of the non-existent corners anytime soon.

I had Conti's on the 954... I was surprised by them... they wore well and stuck pretty good, but the rear tire's profile was similar to that of a top fuel dragster's rear...

On the Dozer i have about 4,000 miles on them now...look like i can run another 4,000 easily...depending on how bad i abuse them of course... Surprising good grip to... Better than the Dunlops she came with... jumping curbs and streaking cross school yards and dirt fields seems easier also.

If you're going that way,try these. I had them on my GSXR and felt they were a little "tall" for me but the grip was fan diddly tastic!!! Oh they are Dunlop 616's

Why in god's name would you put those on a GSXR?

I don't know...They were listed as a tire for my bike on Dunlop's website and I'm always up for trying new things...boy I'll tell you what,those tires will have your knee on the ground in no time flat! I guess they are basically Dunlop's rain race tires with a medium compound. They were the absolute shit in the wet!. Like I said tho',I ended up chucking them because they tended to "fall" into corners and I like a more neutral tire. No offense,but the TLRs I've ridden could probably use some quickening up of their steering. So a faster turn in tire might be the way to go.

I have the Conti Attack SM's on the DRZ, they are great, but I have also been considering picking up an extra set of rims and slapping some Distanzio's on them, I definitely want to give them a try. Heard nothing but great things about them. The Conti's do pretty well off roading, until you hit the fluffier/sandy stuff!
