    Diablo Rosso front and Diablo rear tyres

    I have a Diablo Rosso 120/70-17 front tyre and a plain Diablo 160/70-17 rear tyre that I removed from my SV before putting the M3's on it in January this year.
    The front has done 5123km (road and track) and has 2mm tread left.
    The rear has done 7421km and about 1.5 but possibly less in the centre since the tread pattern doesn't go there (ie it's pretty much shagged).
    The front should pass a WOF no worries, the rear I'm not so sure.

    I was planning to put them back on the sv and use them myself, but I pretty much only use the sv on the track now, and want stickier tyres (planning to try GPRa10's next).

    Anyone want them? Make me an offer.

    I reckon the front should be good for another 2-3000km, it's still got a fair bit of tread left. Like I've said, the rear is fairly worn out, but I thought I might as well mention it too.

    My initial impression when switching to the M3's was that they didn't give as much feedback as the pirelli's (just when normally riding, I'm not talking about when they're about to let go).
    The rear plain Diablo is definitely not as sticky as the M3's. It's hard to comment on how the front compares in terms of stickyness, since the only time it let go was when the rear let go first (on the track at taupo). From reviews, I think the Diablo Rosso's are supposed to be similar to the M3's.
