DUNLOP ROADSMART 120/70ZR-17 FRONT $107.25 DUNLOP ROADSMART 180/55ZR-17 REAR $137.99 DUNLOP ROADSMART 190/50ZR-17 REAR $141.02 http://www.americanmototire.com/catalog/index.php? cPath=33_120_825 Looks like they're borrowing some ideas from Pirelli, and they're way cheaper too. Wonder if this would be another case of, "You get what you pay for", or if these could be a true bargain. | ||

They sound like great tires at a nice price. I wonder if they will have a tendency to stand up in corners on the XB chassis. Didn't that problem diminish on the newer Qualifiers? | ||

The standard size on the Uly is a 180, will a 190 fit on there as well? | ||

It will fit, but handling is better with the 180. | ||

I had the Qualifiers on my XB and they didn't stand up. Excellent dry/warm tires. They don't do so well in January, right Mike? Edit: Looks like and Avon... (Message edited by Thumper74 on May 05, 2008) |
