true.. its not like a proper test procedure or something :) but again if i'm not in the track there's not much i can see really..
how do you usually bring them to their limit?

i let the pros take care of that!
as far as mahself...the only way to test the tires and how they adjust/respond to my input is to push it...but things like the pucker factor doesn't affect the tire, only me.
so things like sliding, etc...may not be about the tire reaching the limits, but rather, too much input or not being smooth, etc. by me. i think that as a rider gets better, he/she is able to cope with whatever shortcomings of the equipment. so like rossi could use 207s on the track and get better times than anyone else without reaching the limit of the tire i guess...but since you are consistent in your riding style, then i guess we can tell how well the tires stick since you are consistent. but if you're better today than you were 3 months ago...then it could just be you getting better you know? FACK...what the hell did i just type.

yes...i believe they are dope tires, ultra stick and all, but i'm really wary of the wear on them since the m1s last like nothing.

Course, if that was mounted and balanced, probably not too bad of a price.

dunlop tires do suck compared to other brands my metzler m-1 hook up so much better than my friends bike which is a regular f4. we ride from the same spot and my tires warm up and grip faster.i dont recommend any tires from dunlop always hadbad experiencesfrom dirt bikes to street, goes for all the same people that ever used them. the only good thing is that you can get a sport tire from them for pretty dirt cheap.
