Does anyone use the Pirelli Dragon GTS on their bird? If so what miles do you get out of them and whats the grip like in wet and dry? I do mainly motorway miles these days so longevity in the middle is more important, 12000 miles a year also gets expensive even on 020s. I have had an offer of the GTSs for ?150 fitted the pair.
I have also been considering the new Michelin Pilot Road which I can get for ?72 and ?104 front and back res. but have to then get them fitted.
There used to be a place in Leigh in Lancashire that did tyres cheap but I cant remember the name of the place, anyone know the place?


Ta in advance

Not the Pilot Roads but I have the Macadam 100x, (Replaced bythe roads), fitted on mine. Got 10k outta the back tyre, squared off like a bi-atch now and gotta be replaced. Was told that the wet grip has been improved on the roads, still takes ages to warm up though.


Funnily enough am thinking about getting some GTS for mine. Have heard that they are becoming the tyre of choice on the ZZR1200, cant be that bad.
