Pirelli MT21 120/90 or 130/90

Hi all

As the title suggests..

Pirelli MT21 only comes in a 120/90 or a 130/90

Both will be slightly higher then standard

What's the suggestion?

Also - any opinion on the MT21's

Thanks guys

From memory I shod the R with the 130/90 ....

The MT21's and I didn't really get along all that well and I experienced quite a few instances of nasty front end shake ... actually it was quite violent.

If I want something a bit more aggressive I now choose Dunlop 606's ... great grip but noisy and not a lot of life on the seal

Thanks Platty for the advice

That's good feedback.. I don't want a crap ride..

I'm now looking at the Mitas E09 - they come in the right size and have lots of good write ups. (for a dearer price though..)

Where in Melbourne are you?

Cheers

Marc
