916 Tyres

[small boy]

Hi,looking for some info on what tyres are best suited to a 98 916 for road use,any help ?

[Dibble]

Pirelli Diablo Corsas or Bridgestone BT012 SS's are the favoured choices here ....

Also change the 190 section rear for a 180, helps the bike turn.

Hope that helps ...

And welcome.

:D

Never tried corsa's but had BT010's and they were fantastic, changed them to 012's and then changed back to 010's
The 012 rear was great but the front felt a bit odd, it also seemed far more rounded and felt like it wanted to tuck all the time.
I do believe the new 014's are much much better again.

If is just for road use I would go for the standard Diablo as it has silica in it & is better in the wet.

1600 miles later and the rear is on it's way out.
Not bad mileage for some of you I know but with my soft and gentle touch ;) I normally get double that mileage from 010's :o

"1600 miles later and the rear is on it's way out."

Thats odd for 014`s they should last longer than 010`s or at worst a similar mileage.

Just changed a rear on a blade with 5000 miles on it all round riding.
