Need New Tyres - Get £40 back...
 
Any of you need new tyres. Pirelli are doing an offer on Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's at the moment, whereby if you have a set fitted, you get £40 back off your purchase price.

I've got a set on my GSXR I'm really pleased with them.

Any idea on mileage from those tyres?

I'm still on my first set, I've done about 1000 miles on the rear and it looks like new still.

I had a quick look round on the GSXR forum I use and looks like they are still to new for anybody to have worn a set out yet though.

Cheers Fizz, I got a voucher out of Performance Bike magazine but lost it so thanks for posting the link! I was thinking of changing the ContiSports for something a bit nicer over summer and sticking them back on for autumn. So, you rate the Pirellis? Did you ever use the original Diablo - much difference?

I've never tried the orginal diablo so I dont know how they compare.

I've had 014's, 2CT's and Diablo III on the GSXR.

I hated the 014

I liked the 2CT, so far I find the Corsa III's superior the 2CT, they are a little more confidence inspiring, they give a bit more feedback and they heat faster on a cold day, they also work better in the wet to.

IMHO of course.

I've not tried the Corsa III but have been pretty happy with the standard Diablo on the gixer. The first rear lasted about 2.6K (maybe would have made 3K but profile was poo), that was a good 1K better than the BT014 that was on it before. The new one seems to be wearing a little better after 1.1K and still looks good. I'm sure others will get better miles than I do as I never got a lot out of my SV tyres (3.5 - 4K per rear)

I would guess that the Corsa III will keep its profile better but overall life (with me on my bike) would probably be the same.
