I can confirm that Diablo's are an excellent choice of tyre.

got mine fitted this sat AM went for a little jaunt carlisle, brampton, aslton, HARTSIDE ,penrith keswick, caldbeck, carlisle.

did hartside 6 times cafe to melmerby bit just to scrub em in you know

did have one heartstopper new tyres, damp road, too much throttle on the edge of grip back end stepped out i rolled off when she gripped again standing me up and running slightly wide had to give it big left hand push to sit her down whilst ducking to avoid the discovery's drivers mirror. quick pullover to side of road and 2 fagged it whilst i gathered meself

anyway motto of above don't Scrub em in on damp roads

got off the mountain into sunnier terrain and had some really good toe down action.

Today "sun" took her up to kielder via cannonbie and newcastleton had some really good fun up there and over the north east.

one thing though,.... the profile is SOOOO round compared to the dunlops/ bridgestones it takes some hellish leaning to get them to the edge. i mean you have to be dragging the footpegs and still not on the ragged edge (REAR) the front is however right there.

try some they live up to the devil inside you (and even have little trident marks on the edge of the tyres) Nice touch wonder how long they will last though
