We had MT-75s on one of our Ninjas and Diablo Scooters on another, and they stuck well when new but traction degraded rather quickly as they aged. They also started to show cracking way before they should have, which leads me to believe that Pirelli's rubber compound dries out quickly.

I had a set of Pirelli tires on one of my cars, and it did pretty much the same thing.

No more Pirellis for me...
