New tires on the market
« on: January 29, 2010, 09:32:51 PM »

Just found these and thought I would share the info!

 Pirelli Night Dragon Motorcycle tires

Brand new from Pirelli comes the Night Dragon, the first pavement peeling muscle tire dedicated to V-Twin cruisers, customs and choppers. Driven by racing technology, the Night Dragon is aggressively designed for PERFORMANCE and styled for stance; the Night Dragon intimidates when prowling or parked.

The Night Dragon is a unique, premium product oriented to Harley- Davidson® and metric-cruiser riders demanding grip performance with forceful style. Today's custom cruisers and hot-rodded V-twins with increased engine sizes, more torque, more horsepower, and upgraded suspensions, create a combination demanding tires dedicated to driving that performance to the pavement of America's highways.

The Night Dragon's street-wise tread pattern blends biker style with riding performance by maximizing the contact patch for fast warm up, quickly giving the rider confidence of stability and traction. The hydrodynamics of its groove placement ensures efficient draining in wet riding conditions; the Night Dragon's front tread design cuts a path through water for the rear, and the calibrated grooves of rear tire disperse the residual water, for controlled grip in all conditions.

\"The moment you taste it, something wet and dark leaps on you and starts humping you like a swamp dog in heat, and the only way to get it off you is to eat it off, It\'s Gumbo!! If you don\'t eat it then the mystery beast will go right on humping you.

Hey
Chad, I think I might try this tire on the rear next time.  The Metzler s keep going up and don't last very long.  Will be a few months before I need a newe one.

Going up?  - I got mine during that Met promotional for around 150 both tires mounted.  I've had the same tires for the last 3 years - averaging a good 75 -100 miles a year.  I'm expecting these puppies to get me to retirement in 2017.  I'm just hoping I can save up the money for the next set.

I changed my last front Metzeler at over 23,000 miles with a little bit of tread remaining.
