I've got the diablos on my 888, it had super corsas when I got it and at renewal time I decided to go a step down in grip as a trade off against distance. I do a fair bit of fast road riding up some really twisty local hills and have had no trouble at all with grip. I'm a wimp in the wet so am quite cautious so not much idea on wet weather grip if you are doing any of that sort of mileage. As mentioned aboeve my bike is extremely sensitive to pressure in the front tyre, just a couple of pounds lost and it just won't go round corner without a fight. A friend of mine had the pilot sports on his ZXR400 at the TT last year. The rear last 3/4 of a lap before chunking to pieces. Not my idea of a reliable tyre, especially on top of everyone elses stories. [Edited on 6-2-2004 by Eddieb] |
