Author Message   Iamarchangel Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 08:03 pm:        Went to price some Strada tires today and was told that Buell will no longer be carrying them. Actually, the parts guy showed me the screen and it said no longer used. Was hoping to get a set for Spring, does anybody know anything about this?   Thetable Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 08:18 pm:        You should be able to can get a set elsewhere, strange that you can't get them through Buell though. OTOH, I can't imagine Pirelli is too far behind on a redo of the compound to match it's Metzeler brother.   Itileman Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 09:39 pm:        WTF? I love those tires!   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 11:35 pm:        Good riddance. Hated those friggin tires.   Froggy Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 03:48 am:        Plenty in stock at Dennis Kirk http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/tpl/tire/product.jsp ?skuId=543088&store=Main&catId=&productId=p542868& leafCatId=&mmyId= I haven't heard anything of them being discontinued. I wonder how this affects the XT?   Birdy Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 06:00 am:        Yea. I was told the Syncs were gone by a Buell dealer. I take EVERYTHING they say with a grain of salt anymore. BTW somehow Buell is still using the Syncs on the Uly a year AFTER the were "discontinued"!

According to Buell.com G150A.1AM Diablo Strada 120/70ZR17 - 17” Front $151.95 G0350A.1AM Diablo Strada 180/55ZR17 - 17” Rear $194.95 Latus: Product ID: G0350A.1AM DIABLO STRADA 180/55ZR17 BW Details DIABLO STRADA 180/55ZR17 BW List Price: $194.95 Price: $194.95 Out of Stock Front just comes up as "Sorry, no products matched your search."   Iamarchangel Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 09:41 am:        Don't know how Buell part numbers work but the parts guy here had to take out the first A in the Strada part numbers to find them (G150.1AM, G0350.1AM). No front was available in North America, two rears were available. Like I said, no problem with the dealership, he was showing me the screen through all this.   M2nc Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 01:23 pm:        Good riddance. Hated those friggin tires. I have to agree. They to date are my least favorite tire. They compared well with the Bias-ply tires on my Honda.
