I swapped out my winter and summer sets last night, and am happy again!
I think my OE Dunlop RF SP01s will probably crap out before the winters go back on.
I haven't been too UNhappy with the Dunlops. Not too harsh IMO, rear treads quickly wearing though
But would like non-RFT if they make the ride smoother w/o sacrifcing handling.
What NON-RFT tires are people using and happy with?
I'm looking for a good mix of handling, ride quality, and tread wear. Probably in that order.
I want superb traction and handling, but am willing to sacrifice a little on that to get a smooth, quiet ride.
Tread life is cool, if I can get a good wearing tire with the other two in mind, but not a big factor.
Thanks!
