New tire time is looming in the not too distanct future. I am leaning toward another set of Z6 Roadtechs, but haven't heard much about the Dunlops. From the other tire threads here, it sounds like the Stones don't wear very well. What say you? :03biker:

The B'Stone rear outlasts the Dunlop but the 'lops stick better on chipsealed roads (both OEM). Fronts, the Dunlop has a very slight edge in longevity if you don't mind a little cupping. I call it a wash. I change my rears with my oil, my fronts every other change. :D Remember that the Dunlops also come in an OEM ST1300 version. The general replacement Dunlops are even worse than the non OEM 'Stones.

All the preceding info is totally un-scientific observation on my part. As they say YMDWV. :)
