Re: stock tires



Greg,

I ran the stock tires at the local race track full out for Reg Pridmore's
CLASS, scraping pegs, etc., without any problems.  I've also strafed the
canyons in Colorado/Wyoming without any problem and after 4,500 miles, I've
still got tread left.  I'm sure that the Dunlop 205s or 207 are going to be
great when I wear the stocks out, but I've had no problems with the
stocks --- of course all of my riding was in the warm summer months, so be
really careful with cold weather, and cold roads.
