Garbage By Jeremy riding a SV650N		April 14,2012
Pros:	I have nothing good to say.
Cons:	Tire started to scallop around 1500 miles. It never felt stable. Around 6000 the tire felt horrible. It was very unpredictable while under even moderate braking. The only reason I kept it on for 12000 miles is because I could not afford a new tire.
This was the tire that came with the bike brand new. I have had 2 SV650's and both came with this tire. It never felt stable in turns, it flattened out very fast. I would have been ok with that if the tire felt like it would stick to anything. I will never purchase a set of these.
Overall Performance = 3 Dry Traction 5     # of Twisty Miles 4,000   Wet Traction 5     # of Straight Miles 8,000   Cornering Stability 1     # of Total Miles 12,000   Steering Response 1     Riding Style 6   Ride Comfort 6     Tire Pressure 39   Noise     Total Weight in Pounds   Tread Life 3

By David Leff riding a Kawasaki ZG 1000		April 22, 2009
Pros:	I use my ZG1000 for touring purposes in New Zealand, which has plently of twisty roads. The Dunlop 220 front tire held the corners well in dry and wet conditions, and the harder compound in the centre of the tire lasted reasonably well (about 11000 miles).
Cons:	However, the softer compound on the sides of the Dunlop 220 worn quickly and cupped, which made steering wobbly.
As a two-compound front tire I think there must be something better. Next time, I will consider buying a Michelin Power Road 2.
Overall Performance = 7 Dry Traction 10     # of Twisty Miles 4,000   Wet Traction 9     # of Straight Miles 7,000   Cornering Stability 6     # of Total Miles 11,000   Steering Response 6     Riding Style 7   Ride Comfort 8     Tire Pressure 37   Noise 7     Total Weight in Pounds 800   Tread Life 7

By Karl Fittinger riding a Suzuki RF 900		January 5, 2009
Pros:	Stick very well. Were reasonably cheap.
Cons:	Wore out way too fast.
I replaced the front the same time as the rear. The rear was completely gone. The front had a few miles left in it but not many.
Overall Performance = 9 Dry Traction 9     # of Twisty Miles   Wet Traction 8     # of Straight Miles   Cornering Stability 9     # of Total Miles 3,000   Steering Response 9     Riding Style 8   Ride Comfort 9     Tire Pressure 32   Noise 9     Total Weight in Pounds 600   Tread Life 3
