    36 front 32 rear a bit more in the rear with a pillion., 42 must be solid as rock and would of thought it would wear out quick

    Just a thought here.
    Dunlop d207s are a pretty old tyre.
    i swapped to a set of them on a zx6r in about 2000!
    Id be tempted to have a little look on the sidewall for the manufacture date.
    You would be amazed at the difference modern rubber makes.
