[QUOTE="Jagermeister, post: 418505, member: 10243"] Now that's funny! I just checked...mine are also rear=France, front=Japan. Wierd combo. It says "Made in Japan by Sumitomo Industries." My guess is Dunlop wanted a front Dual Compound to compete with the PR2, and buying it was quicker than building it themselves. I also thought the front tread was backwards when it was first mounted (Try having that conversation with your wife :huh: ). It appears that water would channel to the center of the tire. Then I did some moderately high-speed riding in hard rain, and it works. Not sure how it sheds water, but it certainly does. [/QUOTE]
