Pirelli Diablo Tires

It is tire time again and I have heard rumors that the new Pirelli Diablo is a kick ass street tire. Has anyone actually tried these tires yet ?? I have been runing Pilot Sports for the last 2 sets of tires after I peeled off the Dunlop 207's. I like the Pilots but feel the need for a change. The pilots seem to get unstable at high speed and tend to lose their "feel" once they hit the 50 % wear mark....

Well i have had them for about 2months and just under a 1,000 miles on them. I can tell you they heat up quick and handle nice on the street, high speed and turns:)). They are very simalar to the sportec's. I would recommend them.

please let us know what kind of milage you get out of them and what you got with your stock tires

diabalo corsa just got rave reviews in the UK, using BT012ss myself (bridgestone man myself)

I will be testing them this week I will try to get back to you on that . I have not heard one thing bad about them . I have the Diablo Corsa they are 70% track tires. A little softer tire than the normal diablo from what I hear . They have two rubber compounds they are a little harder in the middle from what I can feel .

Motorcycle news in the UK did a big sport tyre test recently, and the Diablo came out as top street tyre with the corsa version coming out as top street/trackday tyre.

Well I use BT012ss and they are damn sweet tyres. Plenty of grip cold and even better hot (obviously). Trackd ays they are frickin nice. I can power slide them nicely and controllably. Top end speed they still feel nice and after 2 full track days look WAY better than my bros r6 who uses dunlop 07's. Birdgestones are very nice. I will not try anything else for some time. :)

I will be testing the Diablo Corsa at the Track at the end of the month I will let you guys know how it go.

The Diablos have made me a Pirelli man all the way. Have 'em on my street rims, and Supercorsa Race SC2's on the track rims. Used M1's before and loved 'em. I just like the Pirelli's a little bit more. I know they're supposed to be the same tire with diff. tread, but I honestly think the DIablos are even stickier and more stable.

Put on a set of Super Corsa's on stock rims a couple of weeks back as I'm planning to do some track time with em'. This was a switch from the stock dunlop's. I fitted a 180-55 at the rear and it's noticeable when leanin' over. That could be because the 190's were pretty squared off with over 4700 miles em' but even when the dunslops were new, I like these alot better. I'll send some more feedback once I hit the track.

4700 miles?!! , i had cords showing on my back dunlop after 2300 miles, i wasnt expecting great tire life but i thought that was kind of extreme what has everyone else got for tire life on there 208's??

I got about 3000 out of my 208 rear, about 5300 out of the front. I just put a new set of diablos on tonight. went w/ a 180 rear, bike feels and handles more like a 600 now. These things rock from the few miles I rode on them tonight. Im gonna go break them in Sunday and see how they really work in the corners. so far, they :rock

Damn, my tires are shot at 1800 - 2000. However, it's hot as hell were I live. Theres no was to get even close to 3000 out of em

i just got a set- less than 50 miles and even during scrub in i am impressed

Would they wear out to quick ? I have a pair of the Diablo SuperCorsa's , went to VIR south course and they rocked ! The 180 on the rear makes it lean much quicker , I never slid one time that day , of course am kinda slow !:lol
