Route 66 Pirelle The highest rated tire for handling and ride at a reasonable price.

I just put on a set of Route 66.
Decided to give them a try because of the reviews and lower cost. (Rear $97 vs $147 for Metzler (at least this time around))

So far, not impressed with the handling. It's OK, but nothing like the Metzler.
I don't hate 'em enough to pull them off (and I am way to cheap for that), but I really doubt I will be buying them again. I'll fork over the extra bucks for the Metzler. Besides, I want to see how long the Perelli's last.

Maybe I just need to get used to them.

I have Pirelli's...I love 'em but I can only compare tham to the crappy IRC's that were on it.

'06 lt Blue, Dyna Power pipe, air screw 2 1/4 turns, 52.5 pilot w/ bleed holes, 150 Main, 2/3 spacer, Pirelli MT66 tires, Raptor petcock, 412-4006 Progressive shocks

My '07 rear is slick at 6,000+ miles, and I don't see any checking. Not exactly crappy in my book ! Front will go a long time yet.
