Pirelli Diablo Strada any good?
So anyone know if they're any good?
The reason I ask is Essential Rubber have run out of Metz Z6 Fronts and haven't had any for a while but they have recommended the Diablo Strada as they are supposed to be exactly the same. |

Dr Squid has a set on his thou. He hadn't done many miles when he posted about them, but he seemed happy.

Still an unknown quantity re: life, but work nice, slighty rounder profile than the Attacks = marginally slower steering, might be a dab stiffer carcass, thus a bit less sensitive to pressures. Overall good, if you can't get the Contis buy these, no need for concern.

If you had a choice between the Road Attacks and these, which would you go for though? |

As above, if they only have the Pirellis, buy them, they will give you no cause to dislike them at all, given the choice I'd probably go with the Contis, but only 'cos I know them and I know how long they last, not that I could say that I preferrred either tyre in any tangible way.

I was after a pair of Z6s at the weekend, I was told that there are none in the country at the moment. Must be a popular tyre.
