Pirelli Diablo Stradas
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. Ta |

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

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