Nev.. said.... Ne> would with the Pirelli (no experience with Michelins here). I found Ne> that when I changed from Bridgestone on the 1100 (same combination as Ne> above) to Pirelli Diablos the steering was much lighter and faster. Hmm. Might try the Diablo on the front, perhaps, and stick with what I've got on the rear. It seems to handle OK, has reasonable longevity (I've gotten 5,000 km out of it so far). By comparison, a Dunlop D207 got 3,500, a D220 (a cross between harder 205 and softer D207), about 4,000 km. Have had 2 Pirellis on the back now, for around 10,000 km total. The first one was a sports version, a Tornado, this current one, a Dragon GTS is a touring version.
