oh the dilemma! you get to choose tires! :laugh: BTW, I run MEZ4s on my K11 and really like them. Talked at length with the pirelli/metzeler rep at laguna and he says that the new MEZ6 is even better. |

Choosing tires? Wow! What a concept. I am lucky to find our 750 choice (singular) in stock! Still, there's just something about it that keeps me from selling the 750. |

Doug, I think the Dunlop D204 (Sportmax) is now considered to be an end-of-line sport-touring tyre (the D205 taking over from it), rather than an out-and-out sports tyre. I used them on my '90-'93 ZX11 and they were pretty good, but they might not offer the same level of grip as the D207, or D208 on something lighter like your 907. I have used D207s on my 907 for a number of years now and IMHO they are pretty good. They grip even in the not so hot & sunny (read wet) UK and wear pretty well, keeping their shape. They don't upset the handling too much when worn, unlike some tyres I have had. See here: http://uk.f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/chr ... m=bfe0.jpg I suspect you could fit either D205/207/208 on the front and they would be OK, just depends on how much grip you want. As the rear D204 you have got is a radial, you need to make sure the front is radial also, not bias-belted or crossply - that's all. See what's being discounted and get a good deal - Dunlop dealers here in the UK are heavily discounting D207s, as the D208 are out. Regards, Chris. |

As far as tires go I'm using Bridgestones, BT010's at the moment. Wet or dry they have been perfect . I have had them at a couple of track days and they are awesome. They don't let go . I'm going to have to go with the "new" BT014's since they are replacing the 010's, not sure why .. Erik |

The Metzler MEZ6's are the best "sport touring" tires I have ever ridden on! EXCELLENT feedback! SUper Stick! INCREDIBLE in the rain!! and last a long time. I have 2000+ miles on mine and they still look almost new. They are on my GSXR1100 and I weight 260pounds! |
