Anyone tried the Pirelli "night dragon" tires?

    The online reviews look pretty good.

    I'm not looking for a tire that goes 20K miles. I want stability at highway+ speed and twisties.
    And I've been known to get rained on more than I want to remember.

    Intriguing.

    Online reviews I (just) read seem to be unanimous in their praise of wet-weather traction; tread life seems to depend on the bike.

    I think I'm gonna try them!

    I would guess the guys with tread wear issues have a 900 pound harley with two 275 pound passengers :p

    hi,i have had one on the front for about 1000km/s and am happy with it, it doesnt track at all like my last tyre did but cannot say about what its like in the rain, it seems grippy enough.
