My XTX was supplied new with Pirelli Diablo 17" road tyres, and the first set lasted 12,000 kms so about one year. I use this bike as my city commuter in all weathers so when I needed new tyres I picked up another set of Pirellis as the price was good, about 220 Euro fitted. This time instead I looked around and found these new Michelin Pilots, much more expensive (300 Euro) BUT should be wonderful in all weathers especially rain.

I will let you know how they perform.
