Title: Dunlops on an SV???
Post by: pmoravek on March 11, 2004, 08:05:10 PM
I'm switching  to Dunlops and I'm curious as to what to expect. I'd also like to know what some of you other Dunlop folks might be running for pressures.
Also how long I should leave the old Tiresox on for.
TIA

Don't do it.
Go for Michelin or Pirelli.

I switched to Dunlops on my SV's last year, and have never regretted it!  Worth a full second at every track.  I run 30 front, and 28 rear.  Also I run the 150 on the rear.

Go for Michelins with Chicken Hawk or Baker warmers!

Max Biaggi just called me and said not to listen to any of you guys. He says anyone on an SV should use Dunlops with KLS warmers.

I haven't ridden an SV recently, and not since I used Bridgestone tires, but I found that on my TZ250, the Bridgestones had excellent traction in all most weather conditions (hot especially), good wear at every track, excellent feedback at all tracks and surfaces.  Then again I was on a TZ.  If you haven't ridden one, you don't know what you are missing.  I say this to mean that a TZ's chassis will force you to feel what's going on.  Given the price of the stones, and all of the things I mentioned above, they are worth a try.

The decision has already been made.  Certain "intangibles" have made up my mind for me.
So I WILL be running Dunlops.
It seems like the pressures are similar to what I might have run with the Pirellis.

How about the tire warmers?
20 minutes before the race or what???

Let's hear it guys.
