Hmmmmm...I'm at a loss to understand it then. I've checked my tyre pressure gauge against another and they both read the same.

On my second set of diablo Corsa's and get around 2500/3 out of them , although i run 34/36 i tried lower but seem to like the higher pressures better , and yes you can feel the difference , well i can

Standard Diablo's on Multi1000DS running 32 front 36 rear, excellent grip, excellent feel, they're responsive and supple, and I don't hang about on that bike. Lotsa people make the mistake of fitting Corsa's when the standard one gives all the grip that's needed and lasts so much longer (just ask Dom) , which ones have you been using?

I got to say that I didn't think the Corsa made bugger all difference to be honest. I'm going much quicker this season and (touch wood) I've not had any slides yet, not even at Brands in the rain.

Diablos rule - but then I'm used to nothing else.

I can't fault them !

I run diablo corsa front and a standard diablo rear!

They are great tyres wet or dry !

I had the same set up at llandow on friday and had the front tuck in the second session but that was running slightly off line passing someone on the out side and the rear was sliding alot but it was predictable every lap ! i ran 30 psi front and rear.

on the road i get around 2 rear 2 one front, rears will last around 1300-1500 miles.

Just been talking to one of the hartside guys I occasionally ride with - he's been complaining of the same experiences on his R1. It would seem that perhaps the sort of roads we ride on are the common factor.
