Pirelli Sport Demon - Sold out. Second choice?
I'm trying to get a set of Pirelli SDs to replace my IRCs that came stock on the bike. Unfortunately I can't seem to buy them here in Canada. They are sold out well into June if not later.
I wanted these tires because of their good performance in rain/cold. Longevity of the tire is not so important. What would be the next best choice if I stick to the stock sizes (110/130), the BT-45s? I've pretty much read everything on the forum (wiki etc), just not sure what to do at this point. |

you could also try the pirelli mt-75...they don't last like the kenda 671 but the 75 are very sticky...
oops, sorry they are 16 inch tires... |

Bt-45s or Michelin Pilot Activs, get em from Petes Superbike. Best prices in all of Canada and at your door in under 3 days if he has them on hand.

BT-45's have always been right there with the demons for size, quality, compound.

Unfortunately he lists them as IN STOCK on his site when they're not. Been waiting 10 days now and still not shipped.

I'm going to check. And possibly get a refund because I can't ride until I have tires and it's very upsetting. Bought the bike almost 3 weeks ago and it's just been sitting there begging to be ridden since.

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires are awesome. Getting a lot of awesome reviews over in the tech talk area.
