Which tyre now.

Right I've checked reviews and I'm fairly convinced but just wanted BCFs collective wisdom.

I posted a while back re repair company sticking a Dunlop 501 Arrowmax on the rear of my GPZ500s to replace the OEM tyre. Now I'm actually very happy with that. Its stickier than I remember BT45s being and I can actually do an emergency stop without the back wheel locking up. It also seems great cornering but not pushed it in the wet.

So I'm shortly going to need to replace the awful OEM Dunlop on the front. So do I match the Arrowmax on the rear or put on a BT45 (I've always had those on my GPZ500s in the past).

Ta in advance Smile

I remember BT45's being really good for my GS500.

I would dump the dunlop and get a fresh pair of BT45's
