Hey all - Some of you have an affection for the Dunlops - Motorcyclesuperstore has 'em for $99 front $125 rear. FYI. j | ||
| Cyclonedon |
that's a good deal but I've only got a little over 4,000 miles on mine and they last me till the 10,000 service. | ||
| Bosh |
"I've only got a little over 4,000 miles on mine and they last me till the 10,000 service"  OK... how do you do that?? I can't even make it to 3K on 616's. Jphish, thanks for the heads up. Thats a good deal! | ||

You couldn't pay me to take another set of 616's. As for mileage my Syncs are at 12k? The have been bald for a while now, going to put Strada's on in the spring. | ||
| Rarebird |
Great deal! I replaced the rear 616 at 8,800 due to a screw, and the front needs to be replaced now at 11,900... The front is worn a bit funny, but they've been great tires overall. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Damn, a rear at 8800? I'm just shy of 5k and mine's starting to look worn. Not bald by any stretch, but showing some visible wear now. Hoping to get it thru the 5k service... I'll have to check on the deal, though. I love my 616s, might have to stock up and put a couple in the garage for "later"  | ||

AmericanMotoTire has them at the same price, but it looks to be normal price for them. | ||

I did some searching around the net last night and found no prices lower that the ones you posted. Time to buy! | ||

D616 are crappy for either front or rear. Never again. | ||

"D616 are crappy for either front or rear. Never again." Exactly why there's more flavors than vanilla  I commute year-round in NEOhio, and D616's have been just fine- especially in the wet | ||

I've been riding in those conditions lately including a run last week that involved a lot of ice. I took it easy and had no problems with tires at all. I'm sure it wouldn't have taken much to break traction. | ||
| Rarebird |
They get a bit harsh and rumbly below freezing- not terrible, just noticeable- and I have yet to find any street tire that doesn't get a bit dicey in the snow/ slush mix we get around Clevo. We get a Lake Effect mix, and, discretion being the better part of valor, I typically park the bike if they're calling for "wintry mix" or heavy snow. I just don't have it in me to take those chances anymore... | ||

At least 30% of my riding is on gravel or dirt and uly #1 had 7k on the 616's,my experience with pure street tires on dirt is not pretty,I will get them again when I need new tires on #2. | ||

I have no problems with them on the rear, other than they don't last quite as long as the Syncs. I just had one delivered from Motorcycle Superstore, after I using my $50 coupon !  Except they delivered the tire to my NC address that I used at Christmas. I'm only 750 miles from my tire.  | ||

Florida, sounds like a good reason to go for a ride. | ||

If it wasn't for this PITA thing called work. | ||

Rears are now $111 !!!  Ordered another. I was tempted to get a few with rear Syncs at $147, but I might go with a pair of Michelin Pilot Road II when the front Sync wears out, since I have the KTM950SE for the dirt.  |
