I am running the stock Dunlops on my bike. While around the town riding is fine, I feel very uncomfortable on the highway, mostly when entering turns at speed when I making a good lean- the rear does not feel sticky and I frequently get a feeling that it’s going to slide. When it’s wet, I am just dreading turns on the highway and always take it easy. I never leaned so low that I would touch the knee, and couldn’t even think about it on the Dunlops. Also noted that even with moderate braking the rear tire would sometimes completely lose the grip.
Did any of you ever feel comfortable with Dunlops’ grip?
I am thinking about getting Pilot Roads. How good are they for spirited riding, i.e. entering turns fast and low (no plans to drag the knee but would like to safely approach those angles)? I know they are great for long distance rides, which I do once in a while, but how good are they when entering turns fast, especially on wet payment?
I am also considering Pilot Powers, they've been getting consistently good feedback on this forum. How good are these tires for the travel (comfort wise)? How is the wet and cold grip compared to P.Roads?
Thanks so much for your input!
