Pirelli Scorpion STR 155/60 R17 Triumph Husqvarna 401 Svartpilen 20 miles December 9, 2024
150/60 -17 The Pirelli Rally street are THE best wet weather permorming tires asides from Michelins PR3 I have tried, the open tread pattern lets waterm gravel, oil, etc... Evacuate easily, it is Sillica rich and they last a fairly long time for how offroady and grippy they are, I even tried them on sand and not bad.
Usually a rear lasts 10 to 12000 before you need to replace it, depends on how many highway miles and if you carry a pillion or heavy luggage. They are worth it for a safe commute and some fun on the twisties. Winter or summer, these tires look cool and perform better than expected. I´ve been buying them for years.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso II 155/60 R17 September 27, 2019
fitted these on my duke 125 I loved them for the most part the only downside was in the rain the were not dangerous but the were not good either as for wear I had them on for 2 years and about 30ks I could not wear them out since road here are more like marble than tarmac I know changed them for the dunlop sportsmart2max seems to be better in the rain the front has a great feel but the rear is vague in braking at the limit and not that fast to lean other than that they took a lot of miles to brake in before they did they were horrible now they are good all and all I would suggest the rosso 2 for sportier more powerful bikes and the dunlops for more rain oriented riding and not seeking the ultimate grip levels and feel

Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier HR 155/60 R17 Honda 2,000 miles October 11, 2012
H Rated

For CBR400 - only 60BHP, so only needs H Rated tyres.
Less inertia, more acceleration for a smaller bike.

PRO:
Great tyres for the dry
Literally scrubbed to edges in 1st 50 miles, so much confidence

Con:
Bad mileage - 2,000 only, on a small bike!
Terrible in wet!
