Those are going on the bird in the Spring. I'll post a report on 'em after a track day and some Deal's Gap runs.

I've got to agree with you about being sticky and predictable. Like I posted earlier in this thread my front finally cupped(mild) on my second set. My first set didn't. Was running the same pressures on both sets. After speaking with some of the guys at the local Honda shop and local track riders I found that I was running way too much pressure for my riding style 38f 40r summer, 34f, 36r winter. I dropped them to 28f 30r this weekend as recommended and what a difference. Definitely more stable at hard lean and instead of spinning up the rear on exit it would bite hard and the front end would rise. Now, if I can only convince the Warden of the need for an Ohlins and Racetech or Traxxion worked forks. Sorry if I've missed this in another post but has anyone done this combo and if so how big a difference to expect?

I'm on my second set of D208's and finally fell victim to the cupping on the front. The first set wore great with no cupping at all. I've ridden the this set more aggressively and after 3200 miles the front started cupping. I'm looking for something as sticky as the 208 but of course without the cup and around the same price range. Got a set of Diablos to try. Anyone ever use these on the Bird? Any reccommendations on a good street/track tire with consistent feedback and predictability?

Don't know about the 220's. I keep reading that people are having problems with the Dunlops cupping. What kind of pressures are people running that are having cupping probs? I'm running 208's at 42 psi and running 'em hard and no cupping. When I say hard I mean hard on the throttle in the straights and corners as well as hard threshhold breaking on a routine basis. If the back isn't screaming for traction off the corners I'm not on it hard enough.
