Dunlop D208 tyres - Any Good?
 
I have found some of these at a good price for a pair, just wondered if anybody had them and any comments. Cheers.

For my SV650 K3.

Long lasting, seem decent in both wet and dry to me (on my k3) not as grippy as some of the more expensive tyres, e.g supercorsa e.t.c but a good tyre for the money in my opinion. And being in england it tends to rain alot so its worth having some tyres that will grip in wet too ! (unlike my D209 GP racers on my cagiva!) haha.

Heard good reviews on both, incase you are interested in trying different tyres.. go to http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/ they have some amazing deals on Avon tyres, which I've heard are very good tyres even though they are less popular. Can pick up a PAIR for £120 ish Big savings to be had there.

+1.

had a Metlezer front, and a dunlop sportmax rear, felt ok, rear only lasted 2K miles :(

These PR2's are better, feels like I can lean further, more stable and more fun ;)

I didnt belive that different tyres give any difference before I got these!

I paid £200 pair though, fitted and balanced, how much did you pay Nick?

I think they were about £200 fitted, £210 maybe? (I do have the 180 rear though) It was like 7-8 months ago now though so I dont quite remember ha ha. They last so well though that even if they appear to be expensive they so arnt :D

I've got these on my bike. Seem good.

I'm a newbie and yet i feel confident enough on them taking corners at a good speed.
