I just bought some Pirelli MT60RS tires for my bobber to replace the stock Avon Cobra tires once they wear down and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these tires and what your thoughts were. Any information would be appreciated.

I’m on my third set of the MT60s. They work perfect for me. I ride wet a lot and some dirt roads for camping. Great traction. A little rougher than the stock tires and they do not last as long BUT they look right and perform really well.
I'm glad to hear they work well in the dirt because the road to the house i'm staying in is mostly dirt and pretty steep and i'm worried that if it rains while i'm away from home that i may not be able to get up the road. I appreciate the response.
I put them on - and the front is like new , wear wise, it is a stiffer ride but not bad imo. The rear tire is bald down the center two inches after only 3500 miles ( hard driving , dirt , grooved, and overall poor roads at high speed and heavy braking). I’m 225lbs plus gear so it’s carrying a hefty load too , but I still would have expected them to last the season ( 8-10k miles). I can’t afford to replace tires every 3500 miles!
I should note the tire worked brilliantly sticky on the road and grippy in the dirt. Longevity was shameful but what a great tire while it lasted. I am trying this next Shinko 805
