Bob, Mollye has almost 4000 miles on her`s now and they`re holding up well. They`re what I would call a " very aggressive DS tire". Very decent wet road traction. With the F650 heavily loaded, in the rain, at highway speeds, I was very impressed. Didn`t get any hint of breaking free in the curves, but I wasn`t trying, nor was I getting overly aggressive. At Moab, they made the F650 a different bike, compared to last year ( with the Bridgestone`s on ). Very good in sand, rock and gravel. I tried them in some really nasty clay mud up here and was surprised at how well they did. Traction was no problem, but not as good as a full blown knobby, and would have been able to get a better feel if Mollye didn`t have the stock front still on. At highway speeds, they were good up till about 80mph, then it would get a little squirrelly. I`m putting some on mine in a couple of weeks. Skip

Bob, Mollye has the KT966`s on her bike, but the picture on their website looks a little different. The knobs on her tire have twice the distance between them than the picture. Those look more like the Dunlops. They are speed rated. They are made in China on a Japanese mold. She has the 5.10-17`s, which is what I ordered. We bought them local. If you can`t find them, let me know. Skip
