Default 2012 Continental Tires Vs 2011 Dunlops
Does anyone know the differences between the two tires as the 2012 model now come out with Continental Tires instead of the dunlops?

Not all of them have Conti's on them. My 2012 RR which just came in has K'3 on it. As far as the differences go - check out this thread about all the different tires for the RR.

Tires, Tires, Tires

Tires, Tires, Tires
I wish it did cover all the tires that came on the S1000RR, it only covers the K3, along with about 7 other tires I've sampled on various bikes.

I stand corrected - should have said you had experience with several different tires. A great thread either way.
