Busters in England are offering a pair of Dunlop d204's for 99 pounds plus postage. It works out 120 pounds, or about $288. I know they're an older design tyre, but are they any good? My riding is mainly freeway with the odd ride day thrown in, if that helps.
EDIT* a link for those who wanna chech their stuff out...

I think something has changed with import duties. I've bought a lot of stuff from OS and customs have only picked up a couple of things, but the last thing I got was a new rear shock and all they hit me for was GST which was a bit kinder than what I've been stung for on other stuff.

Ewww, Dung Flops. And the older designs are crappier than the new ones.

I know D205's suck cause that's what my bike had on it when i bought it a couple of years ago. Who puts touring tyres on sportsbikes.
Best thing i ever did was get rid of those tyres(no confidence @ all).

That sorts that out then, thanks guys. I'll spend the extra and get em somewhere in Aus.

It stops you having to replace the rear tyre as often. Perfect for the tight-fisted amongst us. (Like me

Nope, I find the concrete chips away and requires replacement far too often. Steel belts are the way to go.
