Standard rubber
Advantages: Range of compounds available, good grip in a straight line, cheap
Disadvantages: Poor durability and poor cornering grip
...I've had D208s on two bikes, a Honda VTR1000F Firestorm and a Triumph T595 Daytona. Both had the standard D208, not the RR or the SP versions of the tyre.
The Honda came with the Dunlop as standard fitment from new in a 180 section, the Triumph had a 190 section put on briefly as an aftermarket supplied item. The Honda got through three and a half pairs, the Triumph just the one. Before anyone asks why I kept the standard ones there were two reasons, firstly the tyre shop recommended them for the VTR, secondly they never wore out as a pair, the front lasting about 1/3 longer than the rear. I only change brand as a pair and the front was always too good to just bin.
For me there are three categories of factors when judging a bike tyre:

Cost

Tired of hanging around for a great Zutons CD
Advantages: some great catchy songs
Disadvantages: some not so good ones. Sometimes too much going on in the songs
...The Zutons are ubiquitous. You can not escape the Liverpool five piece with the female saxophonist and the bloke who outscouses Terry from Brookside and Harry Enfield's Scouser's due to his curly hair and moustache. Their catchy single Valerie seems to be on Radio 2 every five seconds and they seem to be on the bill of every single outdoor gig and festival this summer. They also have a new album out "Tired of Hanging Around" the follow up to their Mercury Prize nominated debut "Who Killed the Zutons" I was delighted to receive a copy of "Tired of Hanging Around " as a leaving present from my last job. (I was very delighted as I was contemplating on buying it after seeing them do a really good gig at a small venue in Manchester.)
The Zutons are a band that I like but frustrate me at times. They are a good band, but not a truly great...

Montagne Jeunesse Tired Leg Gel Cherry & Iced Mint
Advantages: nice fragrance, makes you feel pampered
Disadvantages: messy, quite expensive, also makes hands tingle
...of cherry, I'd say more like cinnamon and mint, the mint is very dominant & perfect to clear the nasal passages. Especially if one has a cold.
Product:
This tired Leg Gel with Morello Cherry and Iced Mint treantment is designed as a luxury, after long day on your feet pamper. The heavenly fragrance uplifts your spirit from the toes up with an easy to use single application you can do yourself.
You use it by cleaning you legs, you may shave first but will be in a considerable amount of pain as the mint is really tinglely! Then rub on evenly over both clean and dry legs, also work between toes and around ankle area. Then allow to soak in. The soothing and cooling of the natural morello cherry and iced mint can be felt straight away and it's highly recommended to wash off your hands immediately otherwise the inbetweens of your fingers will...

Joey Dunlop RIP
Advantages: all
Disadvantages: none
...I'm sure all fans of road racing would like to join me in paying tribute to Joey Dunlop. He recently extended his record to 26 wins at the Isle of Man TT before he was tragically killed in a 125 cc Race in Tallin the capital of Estonia. It is not difficult to draw parallels with another legend, the Scottish F1 champion Jim Clark, both men were generous, modest men who achieved success at the highest level, yet were killed in small events they were doing for fun. Joey and Jim rest in peace....

Relaxing effective relief of sore legs and feet
Advantages: Smells nice drys quick and is very effective
Disadvantages: none
...PACKAGING
Like the other Montagne Juenesse products, be it the hair treatments or the face masks this is very attractively packaged with various purple purplish pink blue, green and red coloring just like the other products it catches your eye. This being mine and i believe many other peoples first incentive when it comes to deciding weather to buy it or not . It comes in a sachet shaped like a foot and i found it very easy to open.
WHAT DOES IT CLAIM TO DO?
Tired leg gel claims to relieve your tired legs and feet, that it will uplift your spirit from the toes up with its cooling and soothing morello cherry and iced mint. It also claims that it will put a spring in your step and that is eases aches and pains.
ARE THESE CLAIMS TRUE?
I have a varying opinion to the others who have done reviews on this. I have mild cerbal palsy which...

*Grip like a fishwife, & Better looking! Edited ..
Advantages: Grip in wet. Roadholding.
Disadvantages: Price is always a disadvantage, but not too expensive in this case.
...be run in, and then checked as often as you can, both for pressure as well as wear. Current practice is not to rotate the tyres onto different axles, although this does even out the wear and make them last longer. One disadvantage of this is that all of your tyres wear out at the same time, and most people prefer to change two at a time.
As for grip, these tyres seem to be better than Pirelli, Dunlop, or Goodyear, this is my own opinion only. They do seem to grip better in the wet than most others, and in my opinion this is when you really need the grip.
I know nothing about "designer tread" that a lot of tyres seem to have, but these look good, not only when they are brand new, but after a lot of wear.
My Conti's, which of course are fitted to gorgeous alloy wheels, look perfect. A lot of tyres nowadays have...
