I run 32/34 on the street with great results and wear. Never had a slip and got 8,200 miles on my last set.

Hhhhmmm seems my pressures are ok, just on way home from work today felt like the back was almost sliding or shifting on the tyre deflecting, or might have been just the dry roads with dust/diesel etc!

I also noticed a slight squaring off after only 3000 miles, i do mainly round town lots of stop/starting and i think the torque of the 996 flattens out the profile so maybe thats what im feeling when leaning over.

Thanks for the conversion thingy!

Thats a typo,right??
8,200 miles?My 999S has only covered 5,600 and Ive just fitted my 3rd rear tyre and 2nd front.

Oh yes.On last weekends BHCN rideout my bike was handling oddly,especially on right handers.
Hmm,..that will be the squared off tyres from Raid the lakes then!

Nope!!! 8,200 miles is correct. I would have squeezed out maybe another 5-800 if I really wanted but needed tires for the track. They were just down even to the wear bars, but the center was squared off. Far from any threads showing though.

Well i have left them at 32/36 to go to the gp tommorow seems best as they have been at those pressures always, think maybe its just the rear starting to square off see pic!

You can see the thin black talked about in previous threads in the past for static or somthing , lol

I never got 8200 miles out of the rear on my 600 hornet!

Without starting another tyre pressure thread...what are you guys running with Diablo Corsas?

I tried 33F 35R and it felt pretty good, might try a bit lower though, see how I get on...?

[mark749s]

I am on diable corsa's and running 2.1 front and 2.2 back.
Khu how is the "R" going

[ath748]

I'm on Diablo Corsas front and back. Run 32F and 35R.

Get about 4000 miles out of a rear tyre and about double that on the front.

Hia Mark,

Half way to running the R in, clocked up about 230 miles now! But Ive been caning it to the limit already, and its fantastic.

We'll have to go out for a run before the decent weather disappears.
