I never had the confidence with the Pirellis that I did with other brands.

Nope. I'm right there with you. Hate 'em!
I have a few brands that I favor. I wouldn't put Pirellis on your tractor! lol

I don't care for them either.

I've only ever ran one set. My 12 came with a new set of Diablos on it. I seen no gains from them but only got a little over 1/2 of the life I would eventually get out of a set of Pilot Powers. I know a few people who hate them and a few people who adore them.

I may get down to my storage unit to ride tomorrow evening. There is a gas station right next to my unit with a new air station that reads digitally. I'm very interested to see what it is at.
But G-rex I know what you are saying. Last fall I pumped the front up like a pound and the bike felt totally different. But previous to this, I've never had any problems with grip or confidence. I just had no feel from the front, it was so vague... and that was after an hour of riding and the tires completely hot. ![]()

I use to love the diablo corsa 3s on my Honda. That's the only Pirelli I have ever run and it wasn't that finicky.
For my GS, I run the Anakee 2s, they are a pretty badass street tire with a hint of decent gravel tire. Knee down in a salt covered dragon, no problem. Also good in the wet.

I had Diablos on my Buell... my only beef with them is that they barely lasted 3k... Otherwise they were ok.

Powers had twice the life, but handling was a bit twitchy. Angels on there now, not a fan. Not near the grip of any other tire I've ran, and won't get much more than 5k out of the rear. ![]() Not sure what I'm going with next. |
