2006 KAWASAKI CONCOURS WITH DUNLOP SPORT RADIAL TIRES. K701F IN FRONT, K700J IN REAR. THESE TIRES TRACK SEVERELY ON RAIN GROOVES ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAYS. I HAVE 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE DRIVING MOTORCYCLES AND HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED BY HOW A TIRE BEHAVED OVER RAIN GROOVES UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS BIKE. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO COMPLAIN AND THERE WAS A BIKE LIKE MINE WITH 700 MILES ON IT GETTING IT'S TIRES CHANGED BECAUSE THE OWNER COULDN'T STAND HOW THESE TIRES TRACKED IN RAIN GROOVES. THIS IS THE MOST UNSETTLING SITUATION YOU CAN IMAGINE I THOUGHT I HAD TWO FLAT TIRES THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN I THOUGHT MAYBE THE SWINGARM WAS LOOSE. JUST WHEN I WENT TO PULL OVER I HIT A SECTION OF BLACKTOP AND IT SMOOTHED OUT. I CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW BAD THESE TIRES ARE AND THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ON A MOTORCYCLE.*JB
