Pirelli Night Dragon Thoughts???
I know everybody loves tire threads.
It is time for tires on my 06StB (10750on present tires) I have read that several people are running these tires now, but have not heard much feedback on there thoughts, likes or dislikes about the tires. So I am looking for feedback from anybody that has them and has put a few miles on them now. When I replace the rear tire i also want to replace the front tire. I want to go to a 120-70-19 on the front, is anybody running this size with stock width wheel and stock fender, if so how does the bike handle with the wider tire. I ride the bike hard in the turns and go to the mountains often. so any input would be great.
thanks Chris

I am going to get some Night Dragons in a few weeks as well, (my birthday is in august and I think I am buying myself some rubber =).
I ran Pirelli/Diablos on my last sport bike and they drastically improved my transitioning and confidence in the turns. If the Night Dragons are half as good as the diablos I will be stoked !
I am doing the 180 in back, Haven't looked into the front tire dimension options just yet.
Cheers,
Tom

Good to here positive report on the tires, I push the bike in the turns, i am draging somthing about everyday, so i would like a tire that gives me a little more comfort when doing that. the only real reson for the 120 front is to fill the fender up and i can not swing the cost to go to a 21 now. but that will be next tire change I hope.

I'm looking for new tires, too. I loved Pirelli tires on my Ducati so these are definitely a consideration. So far the best delivered price I can find is $100.99 for the 100/90/19 front and 167.99 for the 180/60/17 rear. This is from Motorcycle Superstore. Dennis Kirk will beat any price and they are only $9 more anyway.
Has anybody seen better prices?

I am thinking about going with them too. I got Avons on it bike now and my rear tire is cupping on the left side. What would be a good cause of that?
