Road Tyres for old SS I've got a very old 600SS that needs new tyres. I mostly ride on country lanes with the odd bit of dual carriageway commuting (no track days). The 600SS is old and slow - so I guess it would be waste putting on the latest sticky rubber. Any suggstions as to the best tyres? |
I'd give the normal Diablos a try. Very planted, warm up quickly and wear well. |
Echo Nelly's advice, just put a set on the ST4S, and they are as he says-planted. I ride lots of twisty 'B' roads -the B660 springs to mind, and they don't come much more twisty than that one.;) John |
just about to get some Diablos for my SS for TA4 - how much is nornal for a pair (fitted) ? |
A good ride-in, ride-out price should be about £180 at the cheapest to £210 at the thick end |
just had 2 quotes locally £199 & £205 fitted to loose wheels - same price whether Diablo or Diablo Corsa. The Corsa rear would have to be a 180/55 not 170/60 as std. [Edited on 14-7-2005 by Steve M] |
I just had a brand new set of Diablos fitted for £190. This is my 3rd set now and I have always been happy with them. I commute to work in most weather (excluding snow) and have never had a problem. Usually get plus 5000 miles and a trackday before looking for a new set. |
I'd agree with all the other comments about Diablos. I had a set fitted to my 1994 750 SS and they transformed the handling. £180 fitted ride in/ride out. I've had another set put on my recently acquired 851 SP2. Matthew |
Hi Martini, I've got a new front and part worn rear Diablo you can have for £80/pair if you want. The rear has lots of meat left on it. Cheers, Ali 07748687348 |
I have Diablo Corsa's on my 900ss and I think its overkill (sorry) for the road - Std Diablos should be fine.... I got mine here: http://www.bfmmotorcycles.co.uk/cata...res/diablo.jsp FRank |
