ST4s Tyre choice

richardh · 23-Jul-2003, 12:31

I'm just coming up to replace both Dragon Evo Corsas on my 4s - thinking of Diablos or Diablo Corsas, so anyone got experience of these and can make a recommendation? I'd like decent wear for long-distance two-up work but, looking the state of my tyre edges, suspect I'd be very unwise to trade grip for wear!

thanks
Richard

I went with standard Diablo's on my ST2, my rear is starting to square off a bit now at over 4k - front looks brand new at same mileage.
Great in the wet and better in the dry!!!!!!!

I rode down to Monza for the WSB & then over to Le Mans for the GP, about 2500 miles.
I was on my ST2 with Bridgestone 010F & 020R. Mate was on a 748 and had fitted a Pirelli GTX on the rear just for the trip.
The Pirelli hardly wore whilst the 020 was looking a bit squared by the time we got home.
Both are variable compound tyres but the Pirelli seemed to have a softer edge to it so it held its shape better than the 020.
I recently rode the Multistrada with Pirelli fitted and was well impressed. I rode that bike down some roads I know well and was throwing it about. Not even a moment, totally stable and predictable.
trust this helps
I may well go Pirelli when these are out

Been well chuffed with O10's FR and RR on my ST4s . Wear has been approx 4 k. and very good in the wet. But yoiu have probably seen all the threads recommending 'stones.
