First post in a while.
Got a BA XR6 MK II and now time to get new tyres.
I have been doing a bit of research and decided between the Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 $175 and Dunlop Sport 3000A $169.
Just like to hear drivers experience with these two tyres only.
Cheers

I think the Dunlop Sport 3000's come stock on many BA/BF XR6T's and F6's ...and most of these drivers hate them & replace them ASAP.
Definitely the Goodyears over the Dunlops..

Interesting feedback on the Dunlops but much appreciated.
I have just been told by a friend who is an RACV roadside mechanic who owns a BF F6 to look at Kumhos KU31. The reviews look promising and golly gosh, are cheaper than the above tyres!!

Ended up getting the Kumho's KU31. Had them now for a month and geez they're great in the wet. Grip is fantastic, smoother, quiter and softer ride.
Probably because I had my last ones at 40psi.
Haven't really tested on corners at 100km speed limits yet, other tyres were like real tracks with cornering. If this is the same I'll definitely be buying them again!
