While I'm satisfied with the Dunlops, I'd change tires/brand to one where the front tire (and I assume the rear) don't have the centerline groove found on the OEM Dunlop front tire.
What are my options?
Here is a good front tire choice, only 15% grooved, will cut down on cupping, best tire i have found in my search. The rear is not OEM speck, has a wider width and lower profile, can be used but may require tweaking of the suspension.
My Bridgestone with 3800 Miles is just about toast. Center wear is good but off center due to cupping is down to the wear indicator in a few spots from pushing hard out of turns.

I had the Pilot 3's on my Guzzi and they are outstanding. The dual compound construction allowed for long wear and good cornering grip wet or dry. Turn in was also better than the stock Metzlers. Has anyone on the forum tried them on their Honda? My calculations show only 2mm difference in rear tire sidewall height, the stock tire being the taller.
