Metzler is changing tires too, M3 to M5. I believe some of this is along side the European regulations to eliminate some noxious chemicals from tire formulations this year. Gives everyone a chance to take a look and come up with a new tire. Make any sense? beech

Re: New Tire Thread Pirelli diablo rosso corsa

Hey guys yes these tires are new and should be great options.

None of them are in stock right now they may break loose over the next week after Indy.

The only one I can give any feedback on is the Angel. The FJR guys were all over this one when it came out. I had one customer that like the front well enough to go back to it but the rear wore out in 5000miles. He likes the tires but does some commuting and needed a little longer life.

As soon as I know real prices I'll post up if anybody wants to try them.

I don't want to sound like a sales pitch but, yes. I will try to deliver the best possible price I can.

I believe in trying to support the forum as much as possible. Randy thought enough of us to ask for us to come support the forum and I commit to that.

We support a couple of other forums and try to deliver tires with the best possible price.

I would also like to thank the members here that have already got tires from us.

Tim
