Anybody in the know as to when these might appear, cos I've just discovered that both sets of 'Diablo's' that came with the bike I bought are 'ZR' rated Assume the 'H' rated tyres are specced cos the compound is a bit stickier?

The H rating requirement is a stipulation from Pirelli regarding the safety of the tyres.

Desmo Due bikes do not have enough power and are too light to get the Z rated tyres up to proper operating temperature on the track, they are in the right envelope to work the H rated tyres properly.

That was not the question!

When are the "H" rated Rossos going to be available?

At the moment the exact date is unavailable but we hope to have some information from Pirelli in the comming month or two.

Use the Z rated ones for trackdays and save the Hs for racing?

I ran Z rated ones by mistake for half a season on my DD bike one year and they seemed ok, but there were a number of hot meetings.....?
