I really like Dunlop 616 tires. They are great for wet weather. Problem is that I can't find them in the Dunlop catalog. Have these tires been discontinued? If so, I may have to put some away for later use. |

Tires don't keep! They will harden over time and turn to wood. This is why tire places don't usually have a huge stock. You have to rotate the stock like produce. Have you tried looking into Pirelli tires? I have a set of scorpion trails on my Uly and they feel great. |

All is good. Another member on the Uly section told me that they are now in the Sport section of the Dunlop Catalog. I just checked under the Sport category and there they were! This is important to me because I just put a set on my Suzuki Bandit 1200 and they work great on that bike and they really grip in the wet. Now I am thinking of putting a set on my S3T. |

I have the scorpion sync on my bike. I had to get a front tire this year. I notice all the online vendors had the scorpion syncs on clearance. I went to pirelli's site and they don't list the scorpion syncs any more, just the scorpion trails. |

For your S3T....I'd go with Michelin Pilot Road2 or Road3 dual compounds. I run the hell out of the 616 on my Uly (see the other thread). But...my S2 has PR2's and my S1W has PR3's. I love the 616 for it's "all-around-ness". I don't "all-around" my tubers like I do my Uly. I don't need the offroad/loose-stuff capability on the tubers. But, I HAVE been through a good 1/2" of standing water on the S2 with PR2's and not had a problem. |
