Pirelli Diablo's

I just phoned my local bike shop to book the SV in for tires and they recommended Pirelli Diablo's as a medium sport tire as i don't do a lot of mileage.

Anyone got experience of these? (£180 fitted on the bike)

Pirelli use the word Diablo too much,

the stable contains
Diablo Corsa III
Diable Supercorsa
Diablo Rosso
Diablo

I think I have listed them in stickyness down order.
and Diablo Rosso

So the Diablo is the budget one? I might have to upgrade to the Rosso, you're not wrong about the over use of the word Diablo!! The Pirelli website doesn't clear things up either!

Diablo is the old stock sport tyre I believe (as in road sport, not track sport).

The Dragon Supercorsa Pro has been superceded by (guess what!) the Diablo Supercorsa although they are still available

Standard Diablos are great tyres but old tech now. The Rosso was its replacement but leans more the sports riding with the tread not going to the edges whereas the standard Diablo's did which is better for rain but not for dry.

In terms of performace the from touring tyres to track the order goes

Diablo Strada
(Old Diablo)
Diablo Rosso
(Old Diablo Corsa)
Diablo Corsa III
(Dragon SuperCorsa Pro)
Diablo Supercorsa
Diablo Superbike

I've has a few sets of Corsa III which are nice tyres that have soft compound on edges and harder down the middle. But they were quite expensive. Unless you are track daying (Corsa III will last 2 max in my experience, go Supercorsa either) I'd stick with cheaper Diablo or the Rosso depending on cost
