Title: D220 Discontinue?
Post by: FJ Flyer on August 07, 2009, 08:57:33 AM
Guy on the FJR Forum reported a supplier told him dunlop has killed the 220. Man, first the 205, now the 220.

The RoadSmart tire was supposed to fill all the fitment of the D220 and D205.  But it looks like the 150/80-16 size got forgotten.

yep. they were my bias ply tire of choice...

nice & sticky for sport riding. expect low mileage (3000mi?), when the rear gets bald the front will most likely be cupped all to hell.

Thanks, TRoy,

I ~thought~ they looked like one of the better options.

17" rear is out of the question right now, but I'm gonna have to do SOMETHING about the 10-year-old 591s that are on there now... ;)

Cheers,

FWIW, Dunlop is still listing the 205 on their website... so reports of its demise may be premature... ;)
