aftermarket tires

[liledy]

has anybody ever tried a set of Michelin Pilot Powers on a Uly. I know they wouldn't be much good off road and yes not real good milage but I'm thinking of keeping my stock Dunlop 616's for when I take trips and do a little gravel/dirt road stuff but then in the summer for shorter trips put on the Michelins.Let me know how they handle and did you stay with the 180's or go 190'son the rear.thanks

thanks LeFox. a great reply to my tire questions. I see it was posted back in July. Sorry I didn't find it earlier but there is so much on this forum ,can't read it all. Still have a question about switching to 190's on the rear . any thoughts?Also with my D616's there seems to be a little "swimming" when going in a straight line down the road. Not real planted.My tires only have about 1000 miles on them so it must just be the design?
