Hey Cliff, glad to pay ya back. You were the one to turn me on to this great tire!
Glad they worked for ya. You must have seen my ramblings on the other site. I've refereed many people to these tires & seems that about 1/2 are hesitant of them simply because there Avon's.
The Spirit's should be a great tire if there an improvement over the XM's. They should be unless they go backwards like the PR's did. Unlike most people I found the PR3's & 4's to be a down hill slide from the 2's.

After that the PR1 was my tire of choice but as you say the PRs went backwards. I ALMOST bought a Pirelli Scorpion Trail II on my C14 this time. My Mutistrada came with them and after 7500 miles they look about only half done. They are marketed as an "dual sport" tire but sure look and feel like a sport touring tire. I think I my try a set on the C14 next time and some true dual sport tires on the Ducati
