I have used the BT45 and Pirelli Sport Demons
The BTs worked fine; able to handle high speeds and no wobble. Got caught twice in very heavy rain and they handled well. Rear tire did 8,000 mi. Maybe could have done slightly more but user error with inflation led to some spots of center tread causing doubts. Hey, we all make mistakes.
The Pirelli tires easily 'out ride' me! I have broken the ton twice on them and they keep the bike planted! Where I live now; wide, flat, humid....I think the center tread is probably incorrect application now. Mounted 6,000 mi ago however, bike was not ridden for 5 months before it was shipped so I don't count the 6k miles as consistently ridden miles. If this makes sense?
I run them 34-36 PSI F and no more than 38 PSI rear. Feels good to me!
The Pirelli tires are quieter than the Bridgestones. I'm trying to prolong the life as long as I can, tires are costly and new $$$ responsibilities now.?
I'm thinking about Michelin Road Classics next and heard very positive reviews. If that rear tire does 10,000 miles I will be beyond happy!?
I believe the Pirelli is better quality vs. Bridgestone. Real fast modern riders claim the Pirelli Sport Demon rear only does 3,000 mi. They must be rich?
