## Description

PIRELLI TIRE 140/70-17R SPORT DEMON 2589600

Review: Not exactly what is advertised - I like the tire so far I don't have a lot of miles on it yet. The tread pattern is a little different than the picture on the add. Word of advice don't break in a new tire when it's 33° and wet it's painful but that's not the tires falt
Review: Excellent Balanced Sport Touring Tire - I purchased these tires for my 2013 Honda CBR250R to replace the OEM rubber. I had 8000 miles on the stock tires and the rear was in need of replacement. This bike is used for very spirited commuting and multi-state highway touring. So far, I've taken these Pirellis on an 800 road mile trip and put on over 200 miles in the city. The tires are a bit grippier, more compliant, and warm up quicker than the stock IRC Road Winners. I can't speak to their mileage yet as I only have 1k on them. They've handled water rather well so far, though I have yet to drive them hard on cold wet roads. I can confidently lean the bike over on these tires and would definitely recommend them for someone looking for a sporty radial tire.

## Features

- Specially designed front tire profile is designed to greatly improve handling; excellent water evacuation thanks to central sine-wave groove

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tread pattern
*by P***E on November 21, 2016*

Tread pattern I received is different than the one pictured, mainly no zigzag center line. Otherwise, this mounted fairly painlessly (unlike the front one, see my review for that one); bead seated at 25 PSI with windex to lube.
