Tyres are a very personal thing on bikes .

Depends a lot on what bike the tyre is on , how you ride & what you weigh.
My problem with the D220's is the lack of feel when pushed hard , I like tyres that let me know when they are going to slide . For most uses the 220's are fine , remembering that they are a sport touring tyre . However other tyres in the same class that I have tried eg Mez Z6 are a lot better in my opinion.

The most important thing for me is confidence in the tyres on my bike , which I lacked in the D220's

If other people love D220's that fine with me , however have tried lots of tyres in 20 years of ridding bikes and I recon there are a lot better tyres out there .

Just my thoughts

Cheers Steve
