Final Full Bore tires update
Written by h2opolonut on 3/11/2012 at 05:55 pm

Well, 200 miles into it I am very very happy. Happy with the ride (smoother),
handling (absolutely dont even notice the grooves or seams on the highway),
braking, handling...everything. I just got done riding on a moderately twisty
road and I do notice a bit of difference....not bad, just different.

I think I agree...i wont be unhappy with the choice, especially since 90%+ of my
riding is commuter/highway riding.

low to me, but in reading the forum, it really isn't much lower than the Dunlops
that cost considerably more. That works out to 1.4 cents per mile if that
matters.

Paid $102 for the tire, and $20 for mounting and balancing. So far I am very
happy that I made the change. I will see how it does on some twisties this
weekend.
