Auch in diesem Jahr testen mehrere Motorradmagazine die aktuellen Motorradreifen. Die "Motorrad" nimmt sich in der aktuellen Ausgabe die Sportreifen vor.
Fazit: "... unterm Strich ein klares Ergebnis: Der Michelin Pilot Power 2CT kann sich in vier von fünf Disziplinen klar an die Spitze setzen. Er zeigt im Alltag sowohl neu als auch bei halber Laufleistung sowie beim Verschleiß und auf nasser Fahrbahn die beste Leistung. Hut ab vor diesem Spagat. Auch wenn er dafür auf der Rennstrecke klar einstecken muss. In dieser Disziplin dominiert Pirelli knapp vor Metzeler. Auf Platz zwei landet Contis SportAttack- eine gute Wahl für Landstraßen und Rundkurse. Klasse Einstand für Dunlops Qualifier 2, der einen deutlichen Entwicklungsfortschritt zum Ur- Qualifier aufzeigt und besonders auf der Rennstrecke Laune macht. Klarer Verlierer in diesem Test: der Bridgestone BT016.KoMa
Classic Scooters are experiencing a revival: The most popular models of 2008 took their cue from the 50’s. To perfect the look just add the new whitewall scooter tires from Schwalbe. Just like the petticoat whitewall tires are a product of the 50’s and sales figures show that this ‘Retro look’ is now booming with consumers: Scooters that resemble the iconic Vespa GT were the most popular in 2008.

World premiere at the circuit in the Algarve (of Portugal) at the press conference presenting the 2009 World Superbike, for which Pirelli is the exclusive tire supplier until 2012.
Portimão (Portugal) 23 January 2009 - Pirelli presents a world preview at the circuit in the Algarve in Portugal the Angel ST, the motorcycle tyre with a changing tread pattern and footprint design on the ground: first the appearance of an Angel, then the silhouette of a Demon, representing at the same time the double soul of the product - reliable and sporty. Angel ST is dedicated to riders who love to travel by motorcycle and thus favor reliability, safety and durability. This double soul matches the alternate desires of the Sport Tourer, who at the right times, does not want to sacrifice the thrills of the curve and the emotion of acceleration.
