Hey !

I now ridden my SV650 naked for 82 miles and the tyres feel like pooh. They are the original Dunlops and have done 4700 miles in 5 years. I'm loathe to junk them as there's loads of life left yet but may need to.

I usually put Bridgestones on my bikes but I put Maxxis Sports touring on my Triumph Thunderbird Sport and they where OK. Maybe it's just me and Dunlops not getting on or it could be that they are knackered after 5 years.

So what I need is a bit of advice. Do I junk 'em or not ? I'm thinking of Avon Storms as replacements.

Thanx, peeps.
