Well, I put a Pilot Power on there. Feels great! The rubber just feels so much better on the rear. Just feeling it by touch, the rubber on the Pilot Power feels softer. I now wonder if theDunlop 208's wereold or something....makes me worry about my front tire.
where did you get it at? about to order some pirellis offline, wanted to see if anyone had any specials locally first.

rrasco, the store you love to hate (ACP) has a flyer out for 40% off any one item in the store for this Friday and Saturday before noon. You could get a hell of a deal, even though their tires (well, everything really) are overpriced to begin with. I could have bought the tire this weekend for $114 with that coupon, but I didnt want to wait. I am probably going to go get the front though with the coupon this weekend. I don't know if ACP stocks Pirelli's though.

Did you have a bad experience there or is it just because of their overinflated prices?

experience. as with most stealerships, most of those people have no real interest in motorcycles and should not be in the business. with the exception of sean and david (knew him in HS)in parts, i dont like anyone there. it mostly has to do with right when i got a bike and didnt know anything, i had moneyin hand asking for help, and they basically told me they dont care and to do it all myself. thats not even getting me started on the prices.
