Pirelli Tires

I am wanting to buy a Pirelli Sport Demon rear tire and am wondering where it is made. If its made in the States then I don't have to pay as much duty when I bring across the border into Canada.

On a similar note I am also wondering which tire would be the best: Pirelli Sport Demon, Pirelli Scorpion SYNC, IRC Road Winner RX-01, Dunlop D208 SM Supermoto, and Kenda K671 Touring Tires. You may be wondering at the odd selection but my bike has a 140/70 - 17 tire. If there are any tires that I haven't mentioned that are worth looking into don't hesitate to mention them.

Goodyear was the last American company to make motorcycle tires, but you're a decade or so too late. If you can fit a 150/70 17 on the rear, Avon makes a spectaular sport/touring tire, the Azaro AV46 http://www.avonmotorcycle.com/us/en/Product.asp?ProdType=SportTouring. Check out your rim width, and width between swingarm or narrowest place on the rear, and compare to the specs on the Avon chart. I swear by these tires. Plus, Avon was bought by Cooper Tire, an American company.

thanks

do you know how much would a 150 increase in width over a 140?

10 milimeters...

ah its that simple

Yes the first number in tires...

XXX (width in millimeters)/ xx (% of width for side wall) / XX (letter rating for tire compount) XX (rim size)

190/50/ZR17 190 mm wide with a 50% (or 95mm) side wall height with a ZR rating compount on a 17" rim.
