Tire trials
| My Wing is an 03 and came with the origanal Dunlops. I first replaced them with Elite III's and liked the handling. They were noisy. Then the front began cupping badly and eventually introduced a little wobble occasionally. Back tire was fine. Then I replaced them with the Stones. The Stones have not been cupping or wobbling, but they do not last quite as long as the Elite III's. The Stones do not like tar strips as many have mentioned. The rear does not wear as evenly as the Dunlop does. Note that I discovered the running about 3 or 4 lbs. of air over the recommended pressures makes the bike more stable and significantly reduces front cupping. I am an aggressive back-road rider (no interstates) that wears out tires faster than most people. If I get 12K miles on a set, I am happy. I have Metzeler and Pirelli experience on my sport bikes but not on the Wing. I do not care for them and prefer Michelins or Dunlops. I wish Michelin made tires for the Wing. |
