    Michelin pilot sporty?

    I have found a new set of pilot sportys on turdme, has anybody got any experience with these and would they work ok on my spada? they are 100/80-17 and 130/70-17. which are the reccomended sizes for the mighty spade.

    Yep - good tyre for that. Basically their 'older' sport tyre before the new fangdangled powers.

    I still run pilot sports on my bike. Awesome tyre. Last a little longer than the pilot powers and offer awesome grip.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    yeah as afar as i can see they are a dwarf pilot sport. I might just buy them and see how good they are. Problem is i just spent $270ish throwing a sportdemon up its arse

    Nah mate, went with the SportDemon instead due to tire sizes.

    Had the bike on a wet Taupo track the other day and was very happy with it, I only have a sporty on the front but so far I would happily reccomend it. When the time comes one will go on the back... Oh and from my first time on the Track the front has no chicken Strips anymore.... (well on the left anyway, there is still a little bit on the right due to only 1 right hand turn)
