Just order them today, I'll have a report when i put them on. Still have a little life left in the OEM's.
I'm heading down the the local tire store on Fri. to see if I can get one of these to replace my front tire. It started showing wear bars about 400 miles ago. I'll follow up with the the rear tire when it starts showing some wear.
Ever since I started using Bridgestone BT-45s on the CB750, I've been sold on the dual compound concept. About 75% of my riding is mostly vertical freeway and city. If I get a softer compound that works in the twisties, it'll wear fast right down the middle of the tire. Harder compounds that last forever tend to sacrifice a lot of grip in hard cornering. Dual compound combines the best of both worlds.
