Re: [ST] Pirelli Dragon GTS

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Invisible Dawg is wrong!  The GTS was a new model only 2-2.5 yrs ago. 
The Evo is a pure sport tire. There are a couple of other tires in 
the Pirelli line up that are getting long in the tooth if any of the 
Pirelli's are going to be discontinued it'll be one of them, not the 
GTS.
