and homologated for the Sprint ST 1999.

priced here and reputed to last well, so I will probably give it a go if
there is no word from Pirelli.

Jonathan, 

Have you seen any tests of the GTS? I ran the Mez4's on the old Sprint and
didn't care for the wear rate / pattern - I put them on before my trip last
year and by the end (4200 miles) the the rear was ready for replacement.
Was hoping that the GTS would be a little better...
