    Dunlop 208's suck ass....

    ...in the mud.



    Did about an hour of trail riding today, went up some nasty terrain with the street tires on it. Did fine, as long as I never combined any sort of lean angle with throttle.

    They sucked on the pavement too unless you gave them half the morning to warm up. Once they were up to temp I thought they were a great tire.

    208's is gotta be one of the worst tires for street. On my old bike they always felt slippery, and gave me 0% confidence in turns. When I put a Pirelli Diablo's on, it was like totally different bike.

    about any of you a-holes and your street tires, this thread is about how much they suck in the MUD.

    They suck in the mud about as much as that DRZ400 sucks on the track.

    You have an open invite, homie. I'll be doing a motard run with dirt roads and twisties the last week of June, and I'll be violating Jaret's KDX most weekends until then.
