RE: Tires
I haven't changed tires yet on my Black ST (3k miles now). On my 95 Sprint I
switched from the Battleaxes to the Dunlop 207. I found I was able to up my
corner speed by about 5 mph without the rear sliding. I will switch to the
207's on the new ST in about another 2k miles.

Now that a few of us are up into the milage where changing tires is starting
to come into play, what are peoples' experiences with tires on the Sprint
ST.
Just read where Jim had good luck with his D205s on the track. The BT57s
seem to turn quick, but seem to maybe lack grip and stability in the corners
to me. Would BT56s be better? Maybe grip wise, not sure on stability... I
loved my D207s on my VFR. Triumph only seems to 'recomend' Bridgestones and
Michellin. I read somewhere Triumph designed the Sprint ST with the BT57s
in
mind. Would love to hear some input....
