Tyres, Brakes and Suspension » Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa IIs Ordered

I searched this forum and didn't find any references to this tire. I had a very time-sensitive offer for $50 off a $300+ purchase, so I pulled the trigger on these. They promise to be plenty sporty, which is what I'm after, but time will tell about the streetability and endurance. I'm of the mind that 1 full season of riding will be a boon, since I went 7500 miles last season on the stockers and could still ride them for another thousand or so.

I'll be sure to chime in with my impressions of them when I get them mounted a put some mileage on them.

My Zero S electric motorcycle came with those tires as stock. While they worked OK, I wasn't happy with the mileage of that bike's front tire which is just used for utility purposes at speeds under 65 mph. The front tire wore out at 6K miles, however the rear tire looks like it will last 10K miles. While your mileage may differ, I would have preferred that both tires wear out at around the same mileage. However, I should add that my Zero has 276 pounds on the front tire and 203 pounds on the rear tire. I guess that could have affected the front tire's wear.

I would think that that weight distribution could have a lot to do with it. I watched a lot of reviews on the tires, and none of them mentioned premature wear of the front tire. Also, very often when tires are supplied to a manufacturer as OEM fit on their bikes, they are slightly different than the ones that you can buy aftermarket.

These tyres are fantastic for very sporty road and track riding.

My 1060 Tuono would kill a rear in 2500 miles but that I think was as much to do with the power delivery of the bike, brutal grunt right off the bottom of the revs all the way to the top. 70 miles to an 18 litre tank took my mind off the tyre wear and made me friends with every petrol station manager in the County.

Epic bike, totally pointless but epic

I went with the Pirelli Angel on my R1100S Boxercup. I considered the Diablo version until I red that they are somewhat softer, although grippier for track use. I like my Pirelli Angel which provide plenty of grip for what I do with the added benefit of longevity.

The virus caused quite a bit of delay, but I mounted these up a couple of weeks ago. My initial impression is that they are the stickiest and best tires I have ever ridden. I can't comment on the mileage yet, but as of now I am in love with them. Confidence abounds!

My Street Triple destroyed a pair of these, back end down to the wires, in just over 2000 miles last summer.

Great tyres, but need to be warmed up to work, and lack of tread in the rain can be fun.

On a warm, sunny day, exceptional though....

I ran these on my 1060 big bore Tuono, a typical life for the rear was 1600 miles!

But by christ they were fun miles with 143 brake at the wheel and 100lb/ft of torque, 70-80 miles to the light on an 18 litre tank is another story but I miss that bike

After a full season, I can definitely say that these tires suit this bike extremely well. I have over 4,000 miles on them, and they are still going strong. And I have to say that these were not gentle miles. The pictures below show what I discovered as I washed my bike today. Those definitely were not there when I mounted the tires in the spring.20201110_152149.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20201110_152208_HDR.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

second picture is somewhat incongruous with wear pattern on front tyre

The wear patterns front and rear look weird. That is because it is a multi compound tire. The rear has 5 distinct stripes which run the circumference, the front only 3. But it makes it look like you have chicken strips all the way across your carcass.

SOme protectors needed? Nice lean angles, were you hanging off? How come it doesn´t hit the pegs first?
