I was all set on ordering some Bridgestone Battlax BT021 tires when my local independent shop told me he had a sale on the Pirelli Diablo Strata tires. The Diablo Strata's would be $185 mounted!!
Has anyone had the BT021 and the Diablo Strada's? I have had Pirelli tires before and liked them, although they never lasted as long as I thought they should have.
I have also had good luck with the Battlax series on previous bikes, and have heard great things about the BT021 tires.
Is it worth going with the Diablo Stradas to save $70 over the BT021? The local shop will mount my tires for free if I buy from him, which saves $20 per tire over the dealer for mounting. Obviously I have to bring the rims in off the bike.
Thoughts/opinions?
