These are available in the 16/17 combo correct sizes.
has anyone used them and know if they are any good. I have RE050 and RE010 up front at the moment and need to change a whole set.

They are about £102 front fitted and £127 rear fitted.
Or I can get Yoko A022 H1 which are £126 front and £169 rear fitted.

Would quite like to try the Dunlop though as they are new technology and should probably wear better and provide better wet traction.

or anyone got comments on Sp8000 or 9000 compared to bridgestone.
I guess bridgestone 050 and 040 are NOT considered OEM now as only the 010 was.

Thanks.

actually it looks like you can't do the Sport Maxx as the only fronts I can find are H speed rated!? - http://www.tyrexpress.com/Dunlop/SP_SPORT_MAXX_215_45_16_H_31968.aspx

Why would these be H rated on this tyre??

looks like it's Yokos then as I want to keep to stock sizes and want to try something other than Bridgestone Re050 with 040 up front (these are NOT OEM anyway)

any other options people?? RE010s all round?

thanks

The Yokos are the only OEM tyre available now as you cannot get either BS RE010 or Dunlops 8050. A few members have been using BS RE050 rear & REO40 front and find them comparable to OEM BS RE010. As for OEM Yokos they are great in the dry, but are the worst in the damp/wet compared two other OEMs which you can' get!

Sorry not sure what the latest Dunlops are like, I'm sure someone here have experienced them.
