The Pirelli's are radial tires and the BT-45's are bias ply. Both rear tires are dual compound tires designed for outside grip, long mileage and everyday street riding. Check the wiki for tire reviews.
I believe Dennis Kirk has international shipping. Check their website for tires. |

Why do you want a 120 in the front?
You will not benefit from it.

110 120 it doesn't bother me which tyre i use on the front but in the rosso II it starts at 140 and from what i read there a good tyre to have... I just have the standed crappy tyres and i'm not really happy with them... I already had a crash on my bike last weekend and i don't plan on having another one...

After I wear out my set of Bridgestone S20's I'm definitely going to give these a try.

Richard how do you like the S20s? I love my Diablos for the track but im thinking they might wear out fast and I should get some S20s for the street so that I get more life. My 016s have 8k miles on them right now..

I don't do any track days or have any full-lean experiences with them but I do spirited riding and mainly use them for commuting and have not had any complaints with them. They feel extremely sticky and remain planted when warmed up and have good grip with cold. However, I didn't have any complaints with the 016s so take what I say with a grain of salt. On my next set I'll try either the Rosso IIs or BT-003RS because I want to try out a 140 rear. |
