Dunlap 205s
« on: June 04, 2005, 07:29:49 PM »
I just put on a set of 205s on my bandit. They claim to last 25% longer, I just hope they last 5000 miles. But the bike handles great with new tires, the rear tire that was on it was worn flat from dragracing.
If I didn't have a Suzuki, I would have a Kawasaki

So far, the 205 has been my favorite tire for the B12.
  They're getting harder to find, and I thought they were being dropped.

I just got the D205's on my B12yesterday after getting 8300k miles out of the stock tires, so needless to say I'm easy on them.  I hope I can get at least that long out of these.  I immediately noticed a different feeling, almost more "upright" or the bike wanted to track straight as opposed to feeling like I'm on a bicycle w/o my hands on the handlebars.  Strange.  I'm going to ride again today to get another feel for them.

I usually got 5-7000 miles out of a rear 205, half again as much out of the front.  I've heard reports of over 10000.  I got out of the habit of seeing how long I could run a tire, though, after hitting the fabric, once.
