Default Dunlop D208's

What to say cracking tyres!!!!! Very sticky so loads of grip. gave me loads of confidence in the bike. Very responsive u can feel every nuck and cranny underneath u!!! Only problem being that i have had two back tyres as both have only lasted 2 mths a piece. not a cheap tyre to be going through in such a short amount of time

2 months You're either spinning the back wheel up like Tosland in todays World Superbikes or they're as soft as $h1te - which one is it

They must be very sticky

I've got a pair, only done 300 miles on them so far.
Where are you wearing them out?

They're supposed to be a better dual compound than the D207. So far excellent tyre, compared to the stock mez4 anyway.

Sharples Tyres in Bolton are doing a pair of D208's for £135 fitted to loose wheels. Cheaper than the older 207's!

I've done about 1200 miles on mine and no serious wear showing. Mind you I don't ride fast as I'm getting on in years

just had a pair fitted for £172 thats with them taking the wheels off and refitting plus balancing

first 100 mile impressions.......bloody hell my 010's were pretty worn (10000 mile front and about 5000 on the back)but i dotn remember them being as good as the 208's when new

big thumbs up for sharples as well..excellent service even fixed my undertray that fell off on the way there

i also have the d208's and am pretty pleased with them, but like someone else commented the do wear out quite quickly, i will be getting another rear fitted to mine in the near future, i may have only done around 2500 miles on them, might just be my riding though
