Absolutely, they are both good tires, dunlop is def. More economical, but pirelli is known for their appeal among riders, but you'll pay 40 more a tire or so. I had a set of dunlops, didn't last the summer with they way I ride. I just bought the pirelli diablo russo's for my 99 r1, never had a better tire, almost no tread loss in 3000 miles
