888's, they handle very, very well and they still look brand new after 2 years on my bike.

working as a tech in the automotive field seeing all the troubles with continental tires there is no way I would trust them being on two wheels period! Dunlop elites makes a wide white wall in those tires sizes, I"m serious looking at a set of them when its time for replacement. I have ran the ME880's great handling tires on wet roads and handle the twisty's excellent.
