Default WOW!! New Pirelli Night Dragons

Well after long research here and and other places got the new tires on the bob. Man I wish I did this months ago!! The bike handles so much better now. It wants to dive into the corners and no worries on high speed turns here on the beltway. These tires are making me love the dyna even more!!

180/55-17 out back
$277 for the set off the internet shipped

Do you have a llink for those tires? I almost went with the night dragons, but settled on the Dunlop GT502s instead. I paid more than that; around 340 I think, plus tubes, rim strips.

Gotta love new tires.

Went for a 330 mile ride with some Sport Bikes sunday on my wore out tires and it had me a little nervous. Got to get off my butt tomorrow and get the new ones mounted.

I ended up with around 4600 mile on the rear of mine when I had to replace the night dragon tire. This time I tried the michelin macadam 50 and here I am again at 4600 miles on the michelin and I am about 300 miles from having to replace the rear tire again. I really never considered myself an aggressive rider but maybe I am wrong. I was happy with the grip of the Pirelli and also happy with the grip of the Michelin.

Jake Wilson has the michelin on sale for $65. I ordered 2 at that price and a front so I should be good for almost 10,000 miles before I need another tire. I check the tire pressure regularly and I don't do burn outs but I do get into the throttle pretty heavily from time to time. I also seem to gear down when I am slowing down. I am thinking this is where some of my premature wear is coming from.
