Look for this sort of thing too.
These where new tires to boot.
Defective tire- Pirelli Diablo Strada - Sportbikes.net
Of course the thing I find interesting about the thread in the link above is how the tires in question were bought on line, then taken to a local dealership for mounting, then taken to the same local dealership for a warranty claim. The original poster even says that he doesn't want to ship the tires back to the seller because of the costs involved.
Amazing...
Then there is the misconception that the distributor (Parts Unlimited in this case) has some liability here, and that they are another on line sales company when in fact they only sell to dealers.
So far in the thread the local Triumph dealer hasn't been thrown under the bus, but it wouldn't surprise me to see later on if it happens. Even thought they were simply and generously mounting a tire purchased outside their business.
