Pirelli diablo strada, (budget st tyre)
 
Just had a set of these fitted at a low cost of £160 and all i can say is - WOW:)
so much better then the old avons i bought the bike with, feels like they warm up fast, with a very quick turn in and superb grip.
I did want a more modern tyre but these were £100 cheaper then the sportsmarts and so far im very impressed.

What avons did you ditch for them?

+ 1 for the Stradas - a very underrated tyre and cheap - so much better than OEM's

an old hard azaro, which i thought was really good when i first got the bike. shows what a few years away from biking does to u. looking forward to trying some proper sporty tyres next time round.

yeah ok its a bit of a noob thing to say. but for others like me out there who spend too much time talking **** about bikes on here and not enough time riding, its great feedback u can pass on down the pub with out actually doing it yourself. lol. keyboard warriors to the rescue.


Anyone know what tyre pressures i should run these on? 33/36???

That's a good place to start yes, but you can experiment all the way up to 36F/42R and just see what you like.

Diablo Stradas are great tyres , I would be v tempted to get a pair for £160 fitted great price
