I liked the original Dunlops on mine. Not a bad price either from Camskill.

I tried proxies after the Dunlops, admittedly it was the older T1-S versions (which some rated better) and I didn't like them in the wet/cold as much as the Dunlops. The dry they were on par.

for grip yes, i agree mate. they aren't half bad but the side walls feel thin to me... even when your rocking 40psi they feel a little flat when cornering imo
got the ones i got on now cheap so will get the life out of them then i think im going to khumos again

if you want a set of tyres to last you ages but possibly kill you when its wet then go for sunnys

My t1rs stick to the road when cornering hard. Even in the wet they handle very well!
