I have the new Dunlop 209GP,s fitted after the original Diablo Corsas wore out and when I first fitted them I thought that they were way to 'pointy' and the bike leans over much more than before while on the side stand so I was a little unsure.

I went out on my bike for the first time yesterday since fitting the tyres and I was cautious at first, maybe something in the back of my mind was telling me that they were not anywhere near as good as the Diablos so I took no chances. After gradually building up my confidence in them I am quite impressed. The levels of grip seem very good and the lean angles seems to be lower and the bike turns much quicker.

They do not seem to like any lines/ridges in the road where the diablos did not move and the ride seems firmer but I am running 32/36 so maybe this is too high for the tyres, anyone ??

I think I will still return to the Diablo Corsas as I do like Pirellis but the new Michelin Pilot Powers CT2 seem good as well, anyone tried the new ct2s compared to diablo corsas ?
