Pirelli Evo corsa's are the other OE fitment tyre for MV's......I have Pilots on mine, and I've had Evo Corsa's on my old 748.......I'll be staying with the Pilots....

Hello Steve, I have 9500 miles on my 2000 F4S with the original pilots on them and can easily get another 1000 miles out of them. Stick with what works, I plan on replacing them with new pilots. P.S. those miles have NOT been at a leisurely pace.

Pete, care to give me the quick dissertation on Pirelli Evo Corsa vs. Michelin Pilot Sport? That torched Michelin in that one pic you showed us is quite a statement of support for the Michelins... I haven't ridden a set of Michelins since '94. It's been all Dunlop, Metzler, and Pirelli since.
