Dunlops on mine, don't know what all the fuss is about, they were very good. Just replaced the fronts with Michy PS3 and don't notice any difference.

Bridgestone Potenzas on mine, no problems so far they seem fine enough on wet and dry roads and I don't notice a lot of noise.

Mine are quite noisy but it depends on the road surface and mine still are so new they have the lines still on them  :grin: So they may get better with time.

Potenza's are really grippy and lasted well, but I thought the ride was choppy and they were noisy as f00k.

Ran them for a year - didn't like them.

+1 mine sounds like an old landie
