Default Pirelli Night Dragons

I am ready to buy new tires and have decided I want to try the Pirelli Night dragons.
Just a little hesitant as I don't do as much night riding as I use to, anyone have any feedback about how these tires perform during the daytime?
Do they grip the warmer road surface as well during the day, or do they only grip really well on the cooler night time surfaces?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

They are made specifically for riding the Dragon at Night.

Simply put.......lmgdao

I'd contact the mfg regarding your night/day concerns.

Logic tells me it might grip better during the day but it's pure speculation. Is there any chance of getting a night/day ride report from someone as this question needs to be answered.

I bought a set of NightDragons and mounted them the day before Laconia Bike Week... My second day there I ran over something that put a nice, clean, 1" slit down the middle. 200 miles on a brand new $230 fawking tire!!! Was at the mercy of the dealer who only had a stupid factory Duncrap in stock for the same price!!! I happened to be riding at night when it all went down... Which might entitle me to some sort of false claim warranty compensation maybe???

T-rod, I'd investigate that compensation further.
