Re: [ST] Pirelli Dragon GTS

[Jan and Don Draper <ddraper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lisa,

Why kill Richard?  I wrote back in May telling the list how good
these tires are (at least on the RS, which is a good indicator
for the ST.)  Lot's of other listers have posted how much they
liked them.  You should have known.

I've got 1600 miles on the GTS's so far and can't praise them 
enough.  I'm not even interested in trying another kind of tire.
Why would I want to?  If Invisible Dawg is right, and they're going 
to be dropped, then I'll want to invest in some sets of GTS's to 
store for future use.  Hard to believe they'd discontinue such a 
great tire.   Who knows, maybe the EVOs are great too?

Has anyone tried the Dragon EVOs?  Just looking at Pirelli's
website, I'd guess they're not as good; at least on the stock RS
suspension.  But that's just a hunch.
