Pirelli night dragons.
Tried em, liked em, great wear, fantastic handling. Makes the road glide handle like it's on rails.
Pressure is different than others, read the sidewall

I ride with ease on my Dunlops over the pavement grooves.
I still remember riding my Hondas back in the 80's - 350, 360, 750 - They would scare you to death going over tar snakes, grooves, even reflective markers. Bars would ****** left and right, rear would wash out all the time on those conditions. There were times I thought about walking beside my bike and easing thru some of it. Riding a gravel or chert road was almost like suicide.
Nah, no complaints here. I grin as I remember while riding grooved roads nowadays.
Not bad, not bad at all.
But then again, I mountain bike regularly and feel at home on something a little loose.
You know, like some men like their women a little on the trashy side...

I switched from the Dunlops that came stock with my 18 Road Glide and replaced with Michelin Commander II and big difference IMHO. Probably the most scared I've been on my bike was when I hit a construction area with grooved payment on a freeway with the Dunlops. Super shakey and I got off the road as soon as I was able. Haven't run into that issue with the Commander IIs.
