Pirelli Dragons very special pricing for 2009.

  1. #1

    Pirelli Dragons very special pricing for 2009.

    Pirelli have revised the Dragon Supercorsa pro for 2009 with new compounds (same as Diablos Supersoft and soft) and revised carcass. These are not left overs, but newly manufactured race tires. Designed and priced for the racer on a budget. Pre order for the first race weekend as demand will be high.

    These are great tires for the trackday guys also!!!

    120/160 $299
    120/180 $309
    120/190 $319

    What is the difference between a Dragon and Diablo?

    Talked with Rich (Northeast Distributor) about these this weekend. Basically the front tire profile on the Dragons is a little more round and the tread pattern are the differences.

    That depends, are you talking about the Dragon Super Rosso Al Fresco Strada IV? Or the Mega Diablo Corsa Bosso El Ocho?

    No no no, it's the Dragon Superduperdiablo Zetufettucchini Alfredo that you want... we have those in stock, but you don't want to know how much.

    It must be weird buying pirelli's in Italy. I mean, I'd feel kinda awkward asking a dealer to order me a pair of Dunlop Ultra Devil Megaroads.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Re: Pirelli Dragons very special pricing for 2009.

    Motard will run a 160 rear, the 250 will run a 180 (IIRC it's a HONDA RS250, not an Aprilia RS250 right?)

    Re: Pirelli Dragons very special pricing for 2009.

    Anyone who is starting out racing this year, or is looking to offset the cost of racing should really consider going with these Pirelli tires. They are a very good tire and will be great to get you into the teens no problem.

    You are not going to find a better tire for this price at the track.

    Jamie is right. Pirelli is determined to get into the novice and racer on a budget sector (brand loyalty don't you know). This is a kick-ass deal.

    Can't go wrong with a tire swing. Everybody loves tire swings.

    Won't be using for what reason? Wrong compound/size, switched tire brands? if you just need a different size or compound we can switch it for you. otherwise we can just buy it back provided it has been stored ok.

    If you want to make a tire swing, use Bridgestones. That's all they are good for (in my own humble opinion, that is).
