ok, thread hijack - how would these tyres compare to, say, kumho ku36?

oldie, I assume you are only really using them due to the sponsorship? If you weren't sponsored by them, what would you use ideally?

Thrash Idealy I would most likely use the softest Dunlop DZ03G.
Am not sponsored and the RSR's are app 1/2 the pri
PS just priced the Dunlops $473.00 each :shock: :shock:
So 4 RSR's for less than the cost of 2 dunlops

SPONSORS WELCOME :D :D
