Default Re: Pirelli diablo strada, (budget st tyre)

I've recently had a set of these put on and have just about scrubbed them in. Went for ST tyres as Pilot Sport + my right wrist = 1,500 miles to bald

They warm up quickly like people have said and grip levels seem very good if maybe not quite as planted as i'm used to cornering at high speed. But FOOK ME, do they turn in quick for someone who likes to hang off the inside of the bike like a chimp they'll take a bit of getting used to. I've got no qualms about chucking them into a corner though, just have to adjust a little so i'm not turning in too early and running into the kerb!

The only thing I don't like about them......ugliest tread pattern evvvver
