My use will be mostly on the road on the Oregon coast, where there is
enough rain, mist, and fog that, save when summer winds blow one county
into the next, the road is often wet.
Yesterday, a large online dealer who carries both the Dunlp D607 and
IRC GP110 recommended the latter. I'd appreciate hearing from riders
who have used either of the tires on wet, paved roads.
Thanks for your help,
Tom

tiresonwetpavedroads
Don't get a lot of rain here in SoCal, so my GP-110s don't see a lot
of wet roads. From my short experiences in the rain with them they
stop fine, but I'm a leary of cornering too aggressively with them.
With constant rains, the roads get clean, but with less rain they
frequently have an oil slime that demands some respect.
If I lived in rain country, I'd be looking at tires with silica-
enhanced tread compounds. Two examples are the Michelin Anakee and
Pirelli MT90 Scorpion A/T. That said, last spring I road an '08 KLR on
wet roads with the stock tires and it handled fine.
