Re: Dragon GTS

["Jonathan Schulster" <Schulster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,
I replaced both front and rear - the tyres are pretty good in the rain, but slide like most on overbanding or yellow paedestrian markings (at least in Switzerland).  We did 5 big passes at the weekend (Gotthard, Nufenen, Grimsel, Klausen...) and the tyres were great on both dry, wet and snowy roads.  I can only really compare them to the worn BT57's, as I can't really remember what they were like when new.  I am veyr happy with the new ones, but lifetime remains the big issue for me.

Thanks for the info.

I'd appreciate any feedback you might have (either directly or from your
friend) on their performance in the rain, from light to torrential.

BTW, I've not been following closely enough - did you replace both front
and rear with Pirellis, or just the front?

TIA,
Mark
