It could be the Heritage and not the tire. It seems like I've had to do quite a few sudden stops lately and the back breaks loose every time, even though I'm trying not to. No doubt it outperforms the Dunnie, except in braking. I would never try to hit the floorboards in the rain, but it does seem to corner well, as I'd said.

 

I have been running them allso and really like how they grip and ride,I will buy them again.

 

I have the ND tires on both front and rear and I'm real happy with 'em...they are very sticky, and the front doesn't follow grooves or ruts in the road like the stock Dunlop did. They are a bit taller tire, which raises the bike about 1/2 ". There's less gap between the front fender and tire and the bike has a bit more lean angle.

I've only put about 2800 miles on 'em, but so far the rear tire has very little wear and the front tire looks to be wearing evenly with the rear.

FWIW, I'd buy 'em again...

 

How is the hard straight line braking with the ND on the front? Does it slip up there at all?

 

I'm running the ND on the rear and am very happy with it. It has more of a sport bike profile and does increase the ground clearance by close to 1/2" but it also allows me to lean deeper into the curves. IT's very sticky and plan to put a ND on the front when the avon venom wears out.

 

I am currently on my second SE180, got 7500 out of the first and looks like maybe 5500 to 6000 on the second. So it will be soon time to replace and am considering the ND. From shopping around the price is about the same (within $10) for the ND and SE180. So those of you who have had both tires, which one did you get the best mileage from?

 

anyone compare them to Metzelers?

 

When you are looking at two softer compound tires that are designed to perform better, you will lose some of the mileage you'd get out of a harder compound.

Also, realize the ND is a taller tire, not really wider even though it's a 180. I've seen it in person and have compared it directly to my SE180.

 

I've had both ND and SE180. Both are good tires. I have no problem with rain or braking on either one. The big problem for me is that the rears do not last more than 5000 miles for the ND and 6000 miles for the SE180. I ride everyday and put 6000 miles on in about 2 to 3 months so tires are a little expensive. In my opinion the SE180 looks better.
