	IMO, any tire you pay 130 - 180$ is good...because i bought a 60$ tire...starting wearing out the first day. The honda revolution continues! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I run metzlers on my street bike and wouldn't use anything else. They do look a lot like the Dunlaps I have on my DR though. I'm here to hand out lolly-pops and ass kickings...and I'm all out of lolly-pops. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	The budget tires are a great value for practice and trail riding, but.... For all-out traction and performance on race day you can't beat a good set of Metzeler's, Dunlop's, Pirelli's, etc. Performance is never cheap. A good set of high-end race tires are done after 2 motos and 1 weeks practice Over 30 yrs of pre-mix and expansion chambers!!
