Although on the Pirelli.com website there is still no mention of H rated Rosso's
And I do find it strange tha Pirelli endorsed the use of Z rated tyres in 2005 and 2006 for the Desmo Due series if they now deem them unsuitable

We tried all sorts of things over the winter & trackdays of 2005/06.

We found the ZR tyres took longer to warm up which is probably a benefit in DD, especially Class A as I now find the HR tyres go-off quickly on the 620's. Kyle found them pretty good too, looking at some of his old lap times. We find the HR's very good at their first meeting and not-so-good at their second meeting and I'm sure Tim will confirm this too. I remember buying Skids old tyres and winning races on the Class B bike though.




I've got Dialbo corsa's on my 900ssie and its an ideal step-up, faster, better suspension and more grip.....

900ssie looks good with the DD bodywork too

As Tim has not yet posted, I can confirm with Andy that after one race let alone one full meeting the HR Diablo's on a 620 have lost there initial grip and start to slide noticably.
Apart from that they are a good reliable and consistant tyre.
