VRSCDX Rear Tyre

I've done 2,500 km's on my Night Rod Special and the 240mm rear tyre is starting to show signs of wear in the centre. No complaints as I am a little adicted to making black lines out of corners. The question is what tyre should I put on it next. The factory Dunlop has handled everything that I have thrown at it so far and I'm guessing I'll get about 4,000 km's out of it. Should I go to a HD dealer and go original again or is there a better alternative out there? Cost is not really a factor nor is wet weather performance. AB

i have read on the 1130cc website of people running a 260 rear but only a metzeler will fit no other 260 might be worth looking into.

Re: VRSCDX Rear Tyre

i tend to favour the Avon tires over the Stock Dunlops, for some reason the dunlops after a while start to become sketchy on Uk roads and do not seem to last particulay well squaring off badly.
