I got it confirmed today. GPR70SP are dead long live GPRa10

No confirmed dates from Dunlop UK yet but I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Can't wait to try them out or get some reports on how they go. I know they are out in Japan already.

Good news they're still making tread for our skoots then. Not that mine wear out very fast... Embarassed

Sean have you tried 208/209 GP's ??I only ask to see if you think the GPR's are any better.

I race with the 208's and love em. Problem is they aren't bringing into the states anymore Sad

So need to start looking at the Michelins now.

Nope not tried those.

I firmly believe that to maintain correct and best running temp you need to use the correct speed rated tyre. I only do road and the odd trackday though. I am sure the decent racers can keep the stiffer tyres up to temp.

When you put new GPRs on the bike they feel like a good pair of trainers. When I have used Z rated tyres they feel more like your best shoes Laughing

Not exactly the type of feedback rossi would give burgess but it's the best I can explain lol

Tyres come down to a lot of personal preference as well of course.
