I've ridden on all of these, currently the Dunlop RS3 but the best riding tire with just under 8k was the Avon XM3D. I switched to the R3s strictly because of sale price. Won't do it again.
UPDATE:
Were you on their car tire site rather than the motorcycle site?I have a set of Road 6 waiting in the garage but I was curious to see what the Michelin site said about fitment. The GT is not available front or rear and apparently no other Michelins are available.
I think I was on the motorcycle site. I didn't know there were two sites. The drop down menu was for selecting motorcycle tires.
I have a set of these picked out on my retailers site,,, and just waiting for the June coupon code to be issued. Bridgestone has a decent promotional rebate going as well,, for a limited time. I am glad to hear that you are happy with them, so far,,,, cheers,,, CAt'
when my tires get low in pressure I can feel them roll on tight corners. You get better mileage with 45 psi.
I have literally just put this tire on my rear today. Gonna do the front tomorrow. Did the rear splines (with 8012 moly as per discussion in another thread!!!!), lubed axle+bearings and did a brake pad replacement. Took a load of work and the pads were just a PITA to install. The shoulder on the pin that holds the pads in place just wouldn’t go through. Took a little bit of convincing with the universal convincing tool!! All torqued to spec’s. Loctite on brake assembly pin and toqued to spec. Who said this stuff is easy ?? Satisfying yes, beer reward worthy YES!!
is that changed from or to the Pilot Roads at 16xxx?
I installed the t32 gt front last week. Immediately noticed the handling improvement, compared to the worn Z8 m-spec that it replaced. To be clear,,, the dry performance is equivelent to a new z8 m-spec (which has been my go to front tire for years now). Should have the t32 gt rear installed by end of September,,, and they should carry me through most of 2025,,, given that I have other bikes to wear out as well,,, LOL,,, CAt'
I use my fobo tpms to monitor my tire pressures and temperatures daily. Using gt-spec tires at a minimum of 42psi cold,,, I will inflate to 44-45psi cold every 2-3 weeks, owing to slow pressure bleeding through the tpms sensors. Hot days and performance riding can occasionally send pressures up to 52psi hot. I did notice a 3 or 4 point drop in rear tire temp/pressure spiking, after installing the bike-quip rear tire dirt shield,, btw. CAt'
This is interesting, you think because the engine heat is not going right onto the tire?
