And as a final thought, with their more rounded profile and composition the Night Dragons are more sensitive to tire pressures; run them too low and you'll have accelerated wear, especially scalloping of the front. I posted up my tire pressures I'm using in the thread I linked to in my first reply

The rear tire is a 180/60B-17 (81H) I've been running; I see it's $181.88; gave you the price on the 75V earlier; oops
