Jools, i'm a great fan of the Diablos (standard ones as well) on the 996, more than adequate for my version of fast road riding. Curious to see if anyone has tried them on a Lumpystrudel.

Supercorsa's are wasted to me but equally so despite clocking up a few miles i don't want to go too far down the less grip but more mileage route Avon Speedmaster route.

I like a tyre that has a bit more grip on the road than i've got on reality. Just trying to find out what others have tried.

I can get a pair of Diablos at £190 fitted and balanced, whereas the Scorpians are £210. 120/70 & 180/55.

I've seen mail order deals for pairs of lose tyres cheaper, i.e. D208's but i didn't like them on the 996 plus you've got to add on the cost of fitting and balancing a pair.

No silly trips planned for the Multi next year anyway

(yet!)
