new tires
Well my stock Dunlap Tires did some slight washing out onme this last weekend. They are down to around 1/16th of an inch tread. This got me looking for tires. I just decided on Perellis Night Dragons. For $240 there on there way. Rico rides with these and Pirelli tire are on a couple of the Mercedes Benz that I drive, I know there gonna be decent for these reasons. Now to get them in and mounted. Last ti e I took my bike in for tire changes it got ran over and I got a new bike. So I will take the wheels of and bring them in to Kenetic playground.

I had my Indy order Night Dragons and when they came in both had big goose eggs on the side walls. I was disappointed. Ended up putting Dunlops on cause I needed tires for a trip.
I'll try again when I wear these out.

For the record, I use the Pirelli Sport Demons not the Night Dragons.

Cheap but good are the Kenda's. I got ME880's front and rear and I like them. And I got a sweat deal on a Dunlop D220 so its the backup rear tire.

I just ordered same tires this morning. Got the email a couple hours ago that they shipped. Can't wait to get them on. Almost every review I found on them was great. I only found one bad review. Guy said tread was falling about after only 1500 miles. I hope his is an isolated problem. Can't wait to get them. I got front and rear and will put both on same time. Can't wait to read your review while I wait for mine to arrive lol. Better be good :-)

I need to swap tirres as well... I have run Conti Blitz for the last 20 years and they stick like glue on my bike but they have been discontinued.
I ride north Georgia mountains and the Dragon's tail (rt 129) quite allot and need a sticky road tire that works well with a light bike and won't wash out on me. Does anyone run the ME 880's that corners hard through the turns as they have been suggested by a friend of mine?
