Pirelli Diablos any good

[JimO]

the new bike has them are they any good ? how many ks before im looking for a new set?

[beyond]

Yep, they are good. I'm running a Pirelli Diablo Strada rear and Diablo Corsa front and I'm happy with them. bear in mind I'm running a 1400 with heaps of low down torque so I think I should get around 4,000kms out of them and believe me, that's good. Dunlops were running 3200-300kms.

They handle well, goo in the wet and dry :0

Congrats on the new bike..........yep ive tried a few different brands on the TLS and the diablos are the best by far..............

[imdying]

I'm giving one a go on the back of the SV. Only a day old, so no details yet. The guys at the sv-portal seem to rate them.

[BarBender]

Great everyday type tyre.
Like Beyond - Im running a Strada on the rear but a normal Diabolical on the front. The Strada is fantastic on the wet. Have done a track day on them and even a drag meet. Probably get close to 10,000+out of the rear as I'm on Ohlins, am fussy about tyre pressures and tend not to push on the road.

[GIXser]

Hmmm disagree with all of the above, i run pilots usually, i find diabolicals" too slippery in the wet..

[JimO]

i got the bike on saturday and did around 100 miles (not ks) on sat /sun but now my wife is riding it to work so the only time i will get a go it will need gas!!!

The Diablo is a great tyre jimjim, certainly one of my favourites.
Diablo Strada is the best wet weather/winter tyre IMO.
Crash and burn on the road with a Diablo your a muppet.

Add another vote in favour of Pirelli. I reckon the Diablos are brilliant in the wet. For a change I've switched to the Conti Sport Attacks- Ok in the dry. Below average in the wet, so I will probably go back to Diablo Corsas for this 'not so powerful' beemer.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yep good tyres. Cane it and it will wear quickly but that's what you need to stay rubber side up. 3-4Km would be a good run.

[Wenier]

Yea i've been running diablo corsas and they are good even on the track they pretty good, cant give ya much wet weather stuff on em. My bike is bit twitchy in wet with them. But hey what ya expect.

I use to run super corsas they were awesome apart from the wet due to a lack of tread pattern on the sides but hey if ya buy that tyre ya know what your in for.

[Sam I Am]

Diablo Corsas Love them :Punk:

Useless - get yourself some Shinkos

[kiwifruit]

yep, me too

great tyre
bit crap in the wet

otherwise fine,
otherwise it's over the top

[gijoe1313]

I be using them on my little ol'Hornet, I think they are the bee's knees - 20,000km out of the back, 25,000km on the front! :woohoo:

But yeah, :o twofiddy is why :innocent: With those fellas on, I ride with ease and confidence! :love: the little devils I do!

[MOTOXXX]

i prefer the cheap irc tyres myself. good in the rain :shutup:

[Guitana]

What's the cost of the Diablo's and corsas????

[Crisis management]

But yeah, :o twofiddy is why :innocent: With those fellas on, I ride with ease and confidence! :love: the little devils I do!

You last crashed when?????????

I gotta disagree with a couple of the guys here, the only tyre I could get on the back of my FZR when I first went racing, was a Diablo Strada, and they are shit, best I've had was a Pirelli dragon gts on the back, and super corser on the front, but I am limited by an 18" rear wheel.
Super corsers on the thou is the only way to go! And anyone that says ya cant get em hot enough on the road, is just slow.

[Devil]

Just got back from a 4500km trip around the South Island. I put a set of diablo's on before I left and i'm quite impressed. Very good tyre. Slightly slower steering than an M3 or Power but the trade off is very very good stability in the corners. They eat up mid-corner bumps like they're not there.

Will definately have Diablo's again.

My ratings so far:
1= Diablo
1= Metzeler M3
3rd Pilot Power

[Smokin]

I was using corsa's and I didnt like them, when pushed they wore out bloody fast and I had far too many moments with them in the wet.
Threw a set of Conti Attacks on and having a ball with them, even hold on quite well in the wet.

[JimO]

looks like there are different opinions eh! thanks for the input

[gijoe1313]

You last crashed when?????????

Why, not this few weeks past! No fault of the tyres, be the gijoe1313 sized plonker hole that was left in said flora! :whistle: Yes, when I was pootling around on Miss Daisy past said spot on Daisy's Metzlers, I had the echoing refrain of "Plonker...plonker...plonker...lucky git..." :sweatdrop

Remember kids! Don't try this on your own ride!

[TonyB]

Probably not really relavent, but I have Pirrelii Diabolo Super Corsa Pro's on my race bike.... or 'the tyre with the big long name'. I've been told they are hopeless in the rain, but at Ruapuna yesterday in the pouring rain I had no problems at all. One thing I would say though is that they started to look almost polished on the sides. I'm not sure if that would have eventually caused a problem, but to me they felt pretty bloody good.
