Pirelli Centurato P1 Runflat

[Monk]

Put this Pirelli on the bike today. I will be using it during the Rogers Ride In and hope to also have some left to take to the Darkside Ride In.

At only 21 pounds it should handle real well as a twisty tire. I absolutely hate the looks of the tread on this tire. But I keep reminding myself, I'm not trying it based on its looks. If it grips good and handles the transition on twisty roads well then I will be okay with it.

I'm trying this tire based on a good recommendation from another Darksider. Mainly, I want to compare it to the Pirelli Snow Control that it is replacing.

Wish me luck.

Monk , the pic I looked at on that tire showed the tread to be non-symmetrical. Is that true. In other words the tread is different from the middle out on one side than it is on the other. Usually tires like that distinguish inboard and outboard.

a-symetrical has inboard/outboard markings.

Oh yeah , make a brother look bad.

Is asymmetric-symmetry defined as 3 right turns equals 1 left turn ?

FWIW:

I don't see how you can put that tire on a MC. It would act differently on left and right hand corners. I'm waiting to see what Monk says.

Hmmm, I guess if you put the "meatier" side to the right, the natural right-slope camber of the roads will be compensated for.

(Yeah - I'm reaching )
