Z rated Diablos

What's the latest on them?

I've had to buy a set locally to do a pre-season trackday at Brands. Unfortunately my local supplier could not get hold of H rated Diablos. Some kind of global shortage if I understood it well.

Will I a be able to race on them or will I have to replace them before the first race?

H rated Diablos only this season, I understand the final version of the rules (out any time now) will not include the Rossos that were included in the provisional rules based on what we were led to believe by various Pirelli suppliers.
Most of the DDers I have talked to have all seemed to Source H rated tyres without any problems

Its not hard once you have a bead breaker, a set of levers, some rim protectors, valve extractor and a nice big compressor with tyre inflator

Just noticed my new DD bike is fitted with ZR rated diablos.

Will I have to buy new ones? gutted if so because there’s plenty of life left. This bike has been raced as is, is this an area that's strictly adhered too?
