Went to the Pirelli Web site to look up info on some replacement tires. I've been toying with the idea of going to Angel STs in hopes of some longer life and wanted to do some comparisons with the Corsa Rossa and Rossa IIs, etc. Just for giggles I went to the bike fitment guide to see what recommendations Pirelli would make. Every Buell BUT the 1125r was listed.

Now I feel bad. I think Mr. Buell does as well.

Forget the Pirellis.

The Bridgestone BT016 and its newer replacement rocks so much better. Better than the Rossos. Nearly as good as the Corsa III's with longer life.

Bridgestone S20 is cheaper, has at least as good traction and lasts almost 4000 miles for me compared to the 2900 miles of the corsa IIIs. Jake wilson usually has rear for 123 shipped.
