I switched from the stock dunlops to the E-3's my last tire change. Made a world of difference. But, the town just tar snaked my entire road and I also have the loose feeling on them. I have to go thru this crap almost every day. So i look for the path going down my side of the road with the least amount of snakes. This helps a lot. Then in the turn i go pretty darn slow and also pick my path. heck of a way to have to ride. But better than dumping... I don't think any tire will work, the tar is slightly higher than the road and wet or soft will be slippery. just ride safely when u see them especially 2 up.

Actually it's fork oil weight & worn neck bearings. Change to a heavier fork oil & replace the worn neck bearings & you'll be surprised at the improvement.
