| 996R tyre choice?
My 996r has Diablo Corsas on at the moment, the front is ok but the rear is worn out. At the moment it has a 190 on the rear and I am thinking of changing to a 180? I have raised the rear of the bike a little to quicken the steering but it still feels slow to turn (compared to my Multistrada) I know I changed to a 180 a few years ago with my 996s and that quickened the steering up a lot.
I had read on here that it was not a good idea to put a 180 on the (wider?) rim wheel fitted to the 996r. I have had my steel rule out and the rim on the 996 seems to be the same width as the rim on the multistrada (which has a 180 rear)
I have searched through the archives and cant seem to find a definitive answer.
Also as I am intending using the bike when I can over the next few months (dry days no salt etc) would I be better of fitting a normal Diablo instead of the Corsa? I have heard the standard Diablo is a better tyre in cooler/damper conditions. |
