Pirelli Night Dragons 6 month review
What can I say? I'm really impressed
Best tires so far on my Sportster. Previously used D401s and GT501s. These tires make the bike so much more lighter feeling and "tossable" and cornering is superbly positive and effortless. All those chicken bumps on the outer tread are doomed. It's nice to have a lot of lean angle on my old Standard model for sure!
Perhaps the higher pressures 38/40 helps as well.

Your 800 lb bagger weighs about 250 lbs more than a 550 lb Sportster. I believe you but I have that many miles or more on my Night Dragons and I see no wear at all.

If I get a smaller bike (2nd) I might have to try them again.
