Please don't ban me, Oil question

The 208ZR Dunlop's are superb tires, I used to run them on my TL1000S.

Michelin's Pilot Powers are supposed to be as good or better.

I was getting a maximum of 2000-2500 miles out of rear on my 425lb TL under aggressive riding. If you can make them last much longer on a 500lb B12 I will be surprised. Even though they are fairly cheap for premium sport tires, commuters expecting 5000-6000 miles out of a rear will want to look elsewhere.

Ride On, Ed.

I'm on a B6 so hopefully that will help with the mileage. If I can get 3-4000 I'll be pretty happy. I was only getting 5-6000 out of the 020's and the handling is no comparison. I'm not an overly aggressive rider but the 208's might make me one. Took a good long ride last night with a passenger and never once did they hint at slipping. Turn in quick and hold the line. I'm really happy with them. Only about 175 bucks installed at the dealer and same day service. :banana:
