I tried researching this in the archives, but didn't have much luck. I
remember someone talking about fall in being a common problem to some
tires, but can't remember which they were talking about? maybe it was
Dunlops? I'm running a D207 front D205 rear. Something I noticed at
the Western Rallye was that my lines were not good. I was turning in
too soon and cutting apexes too sharp. I tried to conscientiously make
my turn-ins less sharp, but found it difficult.
It might be just me, but Dunlops are all I've run since I got the bike,
which constitutes my entire sport riding experience, so I don't have
much comparison.
Laters,
Brian
