I'm with you man. I had a really worn, cupping, old, cracking Dunlop on the front and had put a new PP rear on the back when i first got the bike. Rode about 2500 miles with that horrible tire on there. Just put the matching PP front tire on and it's amazing. I almost tipped the bike over driving it off the shop lot cause i didnt expect to lean so much. Every turn is so much more effortless and smooth that it makes diving into corners feel much more comfortable.
