Off to get a couple fitted later. Getting Dunlop because they're rated at 68db, nothing to do with economy, longevity or grip, I just want a quiet tyre

I had the Sportmaxxes on my 75, and they were amazingly quiet, and very grippy. Best tyres I've had, I think
I've got Dunlop Street Response on the Scimitar, and they're very quiet too. A lot more predictable in the wet now, than it was on Maxxis things previously.

I've got four Dunlop Sports on my 75, excellent tyres in my opinion.

For quiet, you'll find some Goodyears at 67dB ('A'). Dunlop Blue Response are very very quiet and I'll certainly fit them again. They're also 'A' rated on the other factors

Yes, happy with the tyres, but quite surprised with the tread. They seem to be more curved across the width rather than straight, oh well, maybe the edges won't wear out so quick.

Please can I ask whether you guys are running 15" or 16" wheels. I have been considering changing to smaller wheels in order to get a quieter and smoother ride (and possibly cheaper tyres). However, if there are quiet tyres out there that will work with my 16" wheels it could make life simpler.

15" Contours mike.

I know which I might get next time, I love the tread and they are 68db same as the ones your asking about.

As tyres go, they're very nice to look at.

I think they are fairly new, too soon for long term reviews.
I have not seen any tread pattern like that before.
