Pirelli Tires?

[smokey12s]

Does anyone have any experience with the Pirelli MT 450 scorpion cross front, or the MT 32 rear tire?
A local motorcycle shop is going out of business and has these for 40% off retail.
Thanks

i used an mt32 once and i liked it alot. it was so expensive that i went back to dunlops. it is well worth buying for 40% off.

Jay, would you buy them instead of dunlop if they wern't so expensive?

Terrain certainly has a major impact on which tires are good, but the MT44 is an incredible front. Not sure if the local shop has those along with the other Pirelli's, but you should be impressed with it if you try it.

According to Jeff Fredette the MT32 is an awesome rear. I'm about ready to mount up an MT16, and will be trying the 32 next, based on his positive comments.

I've got to agree, the MT32 is an excellent tire. I get better life out of Michelins, but the MT-32 worked well in every condition that I rode it on. The matching front was also amazing, but it wore out as fast as the rear did, which was a surprise.

probably not since i started using 756's. but i think i would buy the 32 over any other dunlop. i've never tried a pirelli front.
