Bridgestone 021 is a good duel compound tire

Why not use the money so you can afford to ride legally... or perhaps you're one of those folks waiting for Socialized Health Care???

Continental Race attack endurance is my choice. I tried the conti road attack and my bike killed it in 3500 miles.

I usually do 2-3 tires on the rear vs just one front for a 3 to 1 wear average.

You couldn't pay me to put on any of the following brands
1. dunlop = goodyear
2. bridgestone = firestone

I won't even sell these brands at my shop!

danger danger choose wisely

I also remember another dunlop that came apart and wrapped around the front forks flipping the passenger onto her head crippling her for life.

I've had no problems with the Bridgestone 021's and I've never heard of one blowing
don't know if they are the same in US as in OZ tho , I've just put Metzler Z6's on as the are supposed to wear better , seem to be a nice tire so far.

Metzelers are nice; made by Pirelli. Never used them myself, but heard lots of good reviews, and always had AMAZING results from Pirellis, so the same to be expected from Metzelers. Once my Scorpion Syncs wear off, I think I'll try some of the new Pirelli Angel STs.

no doubt the perelli's on the xt are better than dumbflops(will never put those on none of the bikes) but for being a dual compound tire, not to impressed with the center. decided to go with the michellins pilot road 2's.

I live where there are no twisties and it does rain alot. What would be a good tire with wet conditions and long lasting as the main criteria. My Dunlop is looking pretty worn after only 2000 miles, I'm guessing it will be replaced by 3000 or 3500. I was thinking Scorpion Syncs.

I go through a lot of tyres and the Michelin Pilot Road 2s are what I use now. Good grip, good feel and the best mileage of anything I've had before.
