Default Pirelli Tire for 06 Fatboy

Looking to purchase Pirelli 150/80B16 TL Night Dragon Tire. Looking for comments from anyone who has put these on. Here is link to the tire on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PIREL...ht_2335wt_1167

How is tire life, handling, braking, road noise etc compared to the stock Dunlops?

Thanks
DonnyT

Just about everything is better that than Dlops.

The Pirelli will stick like glue and perform better all around with the possible exception of tire life. I would strongly suggest you swap out the front tire at the same time.

Oh the price is not great.
