New Pirelli Tires for 2011

[gixxerzoli]

I can thank alot for Pirelli!
Its true i never been fast enough to crossing the finish line first, but im not the slowest. Also i never rode any other tire brands so i cant compair....
But i saw enough. I saw tires falling apart in Daytona. I saw tires worn out on a 600cc sprint race in hot weather, etc etc.......
I can assure you NON of them was Pirelli. Under the years Pirelli prooved to me. Also its true, i never collect any contigency money from them....OKOK a few bucks maybe.
Every year we got some new tires and always better and better. And NOW prices are going down!!!!!!!! In this economy???
This is contigency its self guys!
And im so happy!
Thank you Pirelli!!!

You should still be able to find them for sale. I'm not sure if they are going to continue making them though.

[red900]

Yes, They are still available.  Pricing is incredible too.

So how much bigger/taller is the 180/60 rear tire compared to the 180/55? Or is it the same size just bigger contact patch?

[twilkinson3]

I'm going to be an imp and say 5% taller hehe

[SoudersD]

Nominally 9.1% longer radius, or 9mm. These are obviously nominal numbers so YMMV.

0.60 / 0.55 = 1.090909...

180 * (0.60 - 0.55) = 9mm
