I'm kind of surprised no one has posted this here but Pirelli is offering a free front w/purchase of a rear Diablo Strada. I usually run Avon's but this is a good deal so I bit.

Best price I found for a 190 was here although my friend saved a buck or two on a 180 at motorcyle-superstore.com for all you '05+ guys.

A few hoops to go through but not bad for a "free" front tire. Yeah, you pay $25 for "shipping" but you'd pay $10-$14 at most any online store so let's call it a $15 front. :-D

DETAILS HERE

:gpst: Beers!!! Too bad I just bought a set about a month ago! Oh well, if I can get me a set cheap enough, I may just have to buy them and put them up! Although, at the rate I've been going, may not have to put them up for long! Thanks for sharing! :-D

That is a tempting deal. Does anyone have experience with these tires? How do they handle and how do they wear?

Southwest Moto Tires ( http://www.swmototires.com/ ) sells the 190 for $132.95, but order two or more and the shipping is free. Anybody in Houston want to double up on a purchase with me? :wink:

The Diablo Strada is a great Sport Touring tire, long wear. I ran only Pirelli Diablos on my 02 S3 at 32/35psi, a more agressive tire, sticky and very quick warmup time.

It all depends on your riding style, I run sport touring tires on my Yamaha and Beemer, I need a tire that last a long time and works well in the rain.

Lot's of deals out there, better for us!

Great prices, reasonable and fast shipping. Picked up HJC CS-12 helmets cheap last week. :-D
Some of the cheapest tire prices I've found too!

Wow, pretty cool.. Ordered the rear 190 for $128 and filled out the online forms.
Mailed the required proof last Saturday and today it's been posted that the freebie is approved and should be on it's way!!
