It all depends on what you value. My Adly TB 50 came with 130/70-12 Duro tires with a deep aggressive tread. 7,000 miles and barely any wear on the front...with slight wear on the rear. They are speed rated at 90mph..but I rarely go over 50.. While they look awesome and aggressive..the compound is very hard and during light rain they will easily loose traction in corners and while braking. A hard compound will last MUCH longer than a soft compound.. But I replaced them with Kenda 413 which are softer but do wear faster.. cause I find it more convenient and pleasant to replace tires than body parts. I would prefer the Pirelli's but like you..money tends to be an issue. From what I have read..the Kendas wear faster than the more costly Pirelli's..so in the end I will probably end up paying the same due to faster wear. But at least that way it does not cost me $110.00 per tire all at once.
