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.
