View Full Version : Anyone run both Bridgey 012ss's and Pirelli Diablo Corsas ??
I will need a new set of tyre shortly, well July 4th to be exact ...
Has anyone used both these tyres on road and track ???
I've been on 012ss's for the last 2 years but everyone is raving about the Pirellis ....
Must be good wet & dry .....

I have but on different bikes
I used 012ss on my R1 (190 section)
I use Diablo corsas on my 749r (180 section)
they are both very good, but I feel the Diablo is slightly better, but it may just be the different profile
cheers, i already run a 180 rear .. just wondering what the new Pirellis are like ...
I have used both on my 998 & it depends on what you want , the BT's are more twitchy & the Corsa's more stable with a slower turn in .
As for grip either has more then i ever needed !
Slower turn in ?????????? :o
hmmm, and I've never found the 012's twitchy .....
thanks for the info Totto
Not really twitchy as such , but the 12's deffo seem more lively , faster to roll over into the bend , where as the Corsa seem bit more planted more reluctant to turn in ,but that suits me fine , Yello swears by the 12ss but having tried both one after the other ,the 12's then Corsa i like the Corsa better
You makes your choice , rider preference really
:D
I find the 996 slow to turn compared to other bikes I've ridden, a lot more stable though. I don't think the Corsa adds that much to it.
I seemed to be able to turn the 996 pretty quickly on Supercorsa's, just give it more of a nudge on the countersteer. You know it makes sense.
Just bloody put them on and stop being an old woman!
That's kind of what I was getting at over U2U dibble, they just seem slower to turn... and I thought that was just me:puzzled:
TP, ok .. calm down, calm down ...
I ordered the 14/39 sprocket combination from B&C today as well ..... woo hoo ... oh and a 96 link chain ....
Guess I'll just have to try them ...
I'm beginning to think that this is a long range warning for going slow at brands!! :lol:
"I'd had new gearing, new tyres..... blah, blah, blah!"

Edzachary!!!
Although that gearing will liven things up a bit!!!
:D
I have had both ) 010s,012'ss and now Corsas.I liked the 010's,hated the 012ss's and the Corsas are absolutely blinding!!In my opinion the 012's favour an upright to on it's side in a split second kind of riding style and the Diablo's a more gradual turn in.The best way i can describe my feelings of the 012's is "tippy".Go for the Diablo's!!

The Corsa is not as good in the rain as the standard Diablo.
It has no silica or sumfing (or less). Great for the track (in the dry).
I think it has narrower cuts and they're not as deep on the Corsa - as well.
