Re: Tires (Was Classic Cycle in Layton, UT)

So what did you fit instead of the BT57!?  Mine is also completely shot
with 8000km (5000 mi) on the rear (the front has plenty left of course).
I am thinking of trying the Dragon GTS, but have to persuade a dealer to
order them here (Germany) for me without homologation....doh, what a stupid
law!

I fitted a Dunlop D207ZR because that's the only tire they could find in
stock anywhere.  My first choice for sporty-distance riding is the Dunlop
D205, I've had good luck with it both in terms of stick and mileage.

I doubt the Dragon GTS will last much more than 5000 miles...I got about
5000 out of a Metzeler MEZ1 on a VFR, mostly touring.

Good luck!
