OK ... put 200 miles on these puppies today and I'm impressed.

The Diablo Corsas have a super sticky compound and warm up VERY fast. The surface of the tyre shows some (graining like the debris from a pencil eraser) but I guess this is normal for a compound of this type. I don't expect to get many miles out of the rear, but then that's not the point is it !

There is no tread pattern in the centre of the tyre so you're effectively on a slick when the bike is upright. Should be interesting in the wet.

I use a 190 rear at 34 Psi and the bike steers quickly. I imagine a 180 would steer even quicker ?

I paid £79 for the front and £120 for the rear. Be interested to know if you can source them cheaper.
