I run Continental Sport Attacks on the sv.

The RC is shod with Pilot Powers right now. Once I get my spare rims straightened the I'll toss some Pirelli's on them and see what those feel like. It had abused battlax (sp?) tires on her when I first bought her, but I'll reserve my opinion for later because I've had a lot of repairs to do. I'll post up back to backs of the Pirelli's and Michelins next year when I get both sets of wheel back and with decent rubber on them. I don't ever expect more than 5k out of a set of tires on the RC.

The VTX gets Dunlop D404s iirc and they last about 13k miles with how I ride.

I've got Dunlop Qualifiers on right now... they'll stay until I make it up to TN before the rally... gonna throw some Powers on I think.

How do those feel? Grippy? I was gonna get some but I've seen bad things on Continental vehicle tires.

I have a Dunlop on the front...and a Bridgstone on the back...I really should get matching tires.

Diablo Rosso. I'll need another set before the rally, should get ~5,000 on them. Amazing mileage compared to the Roads and 020s that sucked for grip and only got 7,500 miles on.

Just bought a Dunlop Qualifier for the Back..I was on Battlax's Before...

The qualifiers just didnt seem to last on my heavy girl. Must be the POWA!!!!! LOL

The rear would have a flat spot in 3 months. Pretty sure I'll never go back to them.
