He then forwarded me some interesting information that is really quite impressive. In 1872, Giovanni Battista Pirelli, a young engineer, founded Pirelli & C. in Milan at the age of twenty-four. A year later, the first facility for the production of rubber articles was up and running.  The new millennium saw yet another revolution in the tire sector: the MIRS™ production system, introduced in 2000, for the automated fabrication of high-performance tires. 

With this history under their belt, it’s no wonder Pirelli is known for their high quality, high performance tires. Featured in this Pirelli press release are the Night Dragon Motorcycle Tires. These tires are designed for custom motorcycles that need tires with high performance on the straight and inclining with excellent grip. This high-mileage tire has excellent performance and is optimized for the new V-Twin engines with more power and higher torque.

 

Below is Pirelli’s technical explanation of why these tires are the best high performance tire for your Harley-Davidson.

 
“In order to ensure great stability at high speeds and lightning acceleration,

EPT technology of sporting derivation optimizes the area of contact. This patented technology enables the structure of both front and rear tire to be achieved using a radial carcass and a single layer belt made of steel. Depending on the rolling direction of the tire, the belt is wound circumferentially around the carcass giving an angle close to 0°.

The advantages of the use of steel are due to its extremely high rigidity and the possibility to tune the winding spacing thus differentiating the stiffness distribution from shoulder to crown.”
