but either way, tire selection depends on your riding style. If more of a straight shot, long haul rider the harder compound tires like the Dunlops will be just fine and give you the most mileage. If you like to hit the corners harder than most and want to make sure the tires wont be an issue go with the Avons or Pirelli

Thanks in advance
