spent all summer on it! went from my home in FLA as far up as PA and just about everywhere in between with all sorts of different roads and no issues. about 5-6 thousand miles (my sig pic on the dragon I'm rockin it...it held the **** outta the road!)...plenty of tred left but I pulled it off because it was actually a little to wide for my rim. I'm guessin I could of got about 8000 to 9000 total miles out of the tire

Glad to hear that report.

I'm really dyin' to put my new rubber on the bike. Waiting for the possibility of a trade with an Iron guy that wants spokes before i slap the new shoes on. I've still got plenty on the front tire... but the rear is starting to look like a hobo's shoes. I'm anxious to see how the combo of the Distanzia front and Pirelli Sport Demon rear works on the road. Can't wait to see them on the bike! That Distanzia is gonna look MEAN w/o the front fender.

...but it DOES sound like an old mud tire when rolling up to a stoplight with the clutch pulled in.
