| I ran with 208rr's on the 996 and they did a fairly good job on the road and the track. Not very confidence inspiring on wet roads, and they did let go a coupla times when I pushed my luck on the track... once was a big one!
Got me some racetech's now and on a dry track they're superb. When they found the limit of traction at Donny t'other week it was powering out of corners, and that was just a nice smooth slide, nothing to even persuade me to back off the throttle. Don't even think about opening the throttle in the wet tho!
Only experience of Diablo's is on the m620, but even considering the distinct lack of grunt they're by far the best all weather tyre I've used. If I were to try'n predict them on the 996 I'd think they'd be the perfect 'weather compromise' tyre, but wouldn't compete with the racetech's in the dry. |
