Pirelli Diablo Stradas

[Sid Squid]

Have been fitted to the SV1000 today.

It seems to be the consensus that the Diablo Strada is a Z6 with a different name and an ever-so-slightly altered tread pattern, as Pirelli and Metzeler have been the same company for some time now, this is easy to believe.

Report on them to follow soon.

Hey S S.

What did ya pay for yer tyres please ? If they are cheaper than the Metzeler Z6 but pretty much the same with a different name might be a better purchase 'cause I've just bought a house and I'm skint !!!

Price I've been quoted for the Z6. Front, £75 inc. VAT and £117 inc VAT for the rear.

So are these pirellis supposed to have a softer compound than the z6? or are they literally the same just with a different name?

An unrepresentative figure, and I'm not sure of the retails.

Michael, compounds: Don't know for certain, but chatting with a man who really ought to know says mimimal differences twixt Z6 and Diablo Corsa.

I always though it was the Z6 & the Diablo that was the same (baring a slightly different tread pattern,) not the Corsa :?: :?

I think the tyres have the same carcus, but diffrent rubber composit

Yes, you're right, I wrote it right in the first post and then wrong in my previous one. I meant Diablo Strada not Corsa, of coursa :lol: .
