Nah just stirring mate. They still have square edges on them, impressive. Have to take ’em on a real ride at Orange or Lithgow and see how they go in the damp. I’m always open to new stuff. I run Dunflop 765 fronts over Metzler any day.

the pirrelli front griped well on the weekend in dry dusty sandy soil that is fairly slippery found it will hold its line in a rut well compared to the m12 mitchy that likes to climb out .don t no how it will go in the wet wish it would rain .plus it has hardly warn in over 500klms

MMM I found the pirelli great in the soft stuff but did not like it on the hard packed clay stuff as some riders behind me on the last ride will testify, I think the one I have is a little to Hard for that I have a pirelli MX front, I wouldn’t get another one but go back to the michelins.

My Opinion only!!

found the tyre gripped well in the mud in orange at mount conobalis and this tyre has done a lot of work and seen a lot of rocks (wish i had a speedo)but is still going strong think the mitchelin m12 grips a bit better in the dry hard pack but this one seems to be lasting better think it is a good allround tyre for tight arses like me there are better faster wearing dearer tyres out there but
