| What you say about about Diablo's is certainly true TP. I'm on my second set now and they've stood up to trackdays very well, only a few twitches despite blatant abuse - like having to brake quite hard while still cranked over going round Cadwell to avoid slower traffic on TA4.
On a track they probably show a nice progressive degradation and just slide a little more each lap.
What I'm talking about is that, as a road tyre, they seem to last quite well for ages then suddenly wear down at a startling rate (a bit like a fuel gauge that stays on full for a hundred miles then plummets to zero). A case in point is that I went on a 250 mile rideout over to the Comfort Cafe last year with the BHC lads. Before I started I checked my Diablos and looked at the rear tyre "blimey", I thought "that rear tyre is wearing well, nearly 4000 miles on it and it's still got plenty to go". Then just 250 enthusiastic miles later it was virtually bald and definitely giving me some big twitches on the lovely twisties just before we reached our favourite pub.  |
