Need new tires for an 07 Duc MS1100s

I really like the looks of the Dunlop D616 Sp, can get a set for $232 but Comp. Access. has a good pkg deal for a set of Conti Mot. sport touring radial for $180. Any thoights?

I had good luck with several sets of Conti Road Attacks on my 1100.

Craig, I still can't believe I misread the tire size on the sidewall, I swear it looked like a 190/55, my eyes are goin I guess!

When you told me the selection for 190/55's was going to be limited, you were right. I was on the internet looking all over then it hit me. I knew my back tire was not as big as your streetfighter so I got my flashlight and pulled up the cover and finally found the size. I was relieved because my choices really increased. Still have not ordered any but you are correct again that Sportbiketrackgear has the best prices. That was your only mistake since I've known you. You know more about bikes than anybody I know.

I have a buddy with a MTS1000 and he has really liked his Pilot Road 2s. He rides harder than I'm willing to on the street with no grip issues. After replacing my Monster 1100 tires twice as fast as he does, I think I'll try them on the next go round.

Tires...

I'm running Angle ST's on my Hyper-retard and plan on running them on my 08 Multistrada. Very good tire... IMHO.

Mic sport tec 5's are great! They feel planted and so much better than scorpions. I also like the pilot 3's. They are out of this world. I have a set of Rossi 2's on the shelf, but my favorite are the sport tech 5's! I ride aggressive mountain roads.

Definitely my favorite tire...great balance of grip (wet or dry) and mileage. Suits the MTS if you're using it for both fast, curvy stuff and touring.
