My '06 Uly is ready for new tires and I was thinking that since 99.9% of my riding is on the road I would get something different than what came with it. I live a few miles from TWO and virtually all my riding is in the mountains. has anyone used Bridgestone Battlax 021's on a Uly? Any good experiences with another tire? Thanks. |

5300 miles on my Syncs. When they wear out, that's what I'm putting back on it. |

I'm happy with my Avon Storms. They feel noticeably more planted than the old Dunlops, and they don't have the same mid corner head wobbling. Admittedly I haven't been riding too hard since I got back on the road after my accident, but they feel really good to me nonetheless. It's a shame I didn't see you out today. I'd have let you take them out for a spin. |

Metzler M3s seems to work ok on my Uly if you are doing mostly road traveling. Remember when you have the tires replaced that the front axle is reverse threaded. |

Pirelli Diablo Stradas. My Uly is very happy with them, and lets me know it! |

Conti Sport Attack front and Road Attack rear. Stick like Avon's and last 11000 miles for the rear. Two rear per front. |

I have used the Avon Storms and really liked them. The new dual compound is great. I will buy them again after my Cycle Gear Stradas are gone. |

My last 2 Bridgestone experiences have been bad, so no recommendation here. Note that I never tried them on a Uly, though. I changed the rear dunlop for a Pirelli Scorp Sync, and am very happy. It is not a dual sport tire, so don't be afraid of it. I tried the 021's on the Ducati ST2 I used to have, and they were horrible. Handled fine when new, but the rear only lasted 2500-3000 miles, and the front cupped badly and caused vibrations under braking. I used Metzeler and Pirelli tires on this same bike with no issues. I would vote against the 021's, though a friend of mine likes them on his BMW RT1150. |

I've been running the Sync's, can't see any reason to go to anything else, they work great!! |
