saint666 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Hi, i am after a new set of tyres and was just wondering if anyone had any views on the pirelli diablos. I have a cbr 600fv, tyre size is 120/60/17 - 160/60/17. If anyone is using these tyres then could you let me know how your gettin on with them please? Alternatively if anyone has any recommendations then im all ears! I use the bike every day come rain/ice or snow so wanna know if they are any good. As always thanks for any replies! Quote
polecat Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I would definatly get Michelin PILOT POWER SPORT a little more money but excellent tyres especially in the Wet (England) Quote
NC24 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I've currently got Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa fitted to the Sprint. They are awesome wet or dry, even felt stable on the icy roads this morning! Much better than the Michelins I had on before. Quote
RiffmasterII Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I had the Corsa III on my 636, couldnt fault them, loads of grip in all conditions and lasted well too Quote

I use the bike daily for everything from popping to the shops to visiting clients on site. They've been on for about 1500 miles now and the rear is still perfectly shaped. I'm not exactly a kerb crawler either Quote
Rosie Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I have had two sets of Pirelli Diablo sports this year and got nearly 4000 out of each set. Quote
Revvin Kevin Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 I use Pirellii Diablo Corsa III all year including trackdays, winter and summer riding. It's possible to get upto 5500 miles out of a rear and 7000 miles out of a front. Quote
flipper Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 I had Corsa IIIs on my Speed Triple and the sides wore out very quickly. Quote
techno Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I use Pirellii Diablo Corsa III all year including trackdays, winter and summer riding. It's possible to get upto 5500 miles out of a rear and 7000 miles out of a front. Thats odd cos Ive known some people get less than 3000 out of theirs! Quote

BoB3rt Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I can vouch for getting 5000 at least on my rear diablo. I had different front tyre but now have a set off bridgestone batalix 0014's which are spot on, not sure what models out now. 16's? Quote
gixxer711 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 corsas are a brill tyre ,, very sticky ,, ive got a part worn set for sale ?? Quote

I had them replaced this weekend with Maxxis Touring and I'm really happy I did it. i really hated them...Sorry, don't know anything about Diablos Quote
Bob R1 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Had Corsa 111,s on my bike ,good tyres,but didn,t trust them in the wet,then went to B.T.016,s,brilliant tyres ,..got another bike recently,which came home with Michellin power pures,so far no complaints.... Quote
Guest Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Personally I run Michilin Road Pilot 2cts. I like them. Confidence inspiring and last well. Quote
NC24 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Another here for my Supercorsas From Blackburn to Stockport and back last night in pouring rain and gusty winds and they were absolutely planted to the road. Not one skip or squirm and npothing but excellent feedback. It's the first time for years, since I last had Pirellis and on my Thundercat to be precise, that I felt completely at one with the bike in the wet and managed to ride at pretty much dry condition level.

NC24 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Personally I run Michilin Road Pilot 2cts. I like them. Confidence inspiring and last well. Those are the tyres I've not long replaced with Supercorsas. They were fine when new but a bit lacking on feedback. As time wore on they got worse and worse. Shame really, I had them on other bikes and they felt OK throughout their lifespan. I guess they're just not suited to the Sprint and the way I ride it. Quote

NC24 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I had 014s on the R6 and they were terrible! The front ended up like a chisel after less than 1000 miles and the rear squared off in no time. Switched them for Conti Sport Attacks and I'm on the 3rd set of those now and loving every minute of them wet and dry. Quote
saint666 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 corsas are a brill tyre ,, very sticky ,, ive got a part worn set for sale ?? How much tread remaining? and how much for them? By the way i would like to thank everyone for their replies, good to get some real opinions. Quote
