I agree on the old gen but these new tires are supposed to be better... I've seen both the Bridgestones and the Dunlops for around $200 shipped so I don't see the point but hey, to each their own I say.

009 is the Raven sport tourer tire. Only hear good thing about it.

Now here's a straight drag tire they make. No number, but it looks like the stealth rear, just less dimples.
