Love Dunlops but now run super corsa pro top tyre
The Dunlop on the rear we ran at brands hatch last year utter rubbish might be good on the road but be carefull it does not turn in as quick and doesnt hold a line it tends to drift out of corners and you can get to the edge of the tyre does have good grip yes you can get youre knee down but no good on a race track on a fast lap
Just be carefull that when you are cornering that your not drifting on the road even most of the top riders last year tried them but they even changed very quickly
Pirelli supercorsa pro top tyre try these if you get a chance

Thats what i was thinking.
A wider profile generally means a slower turn-in, so if you've got the front turning in normally and the rear wanting to go straight.... don't think i'd fancy understeer on a bike. Or is that wrong??? I'd imagine it'd understeer because the rear would drive the front wide, but reading it back it sounds like it might oversteer.... Nah - sure i'm right the first time....
Lets face it though - wider tyres on bikes LOOK damn cool!!!
Would it make any real difference to your average road rider???
