Now, im talking what...... must be 4 years ago, i had these on the sv and they were known to be the dogs..... can someone explain to me how these are no longer and newer tyres can be? I remember them being a great all rounder.

I have Pirelli Strada, Im sure Skip told me they were the same tyres, and theyre still available.

(Forgive me if im talking rubbish!!)

Yes, times move on, and if you don't pay attention for a few years it can be hard to get hold of a familiar product. Tried to buy an original Mach 3 razor lately? Doesn't mean they were bad, just that in a competitive market, new products replace old.

The Pirelli Diablo Strada, and the Metzler Z6 were, indeed reported to be the same tyre with a different tread pattern.

Pirelli now have the Angel ST, I believe the Metzler Z6 was replaced by the Z8.

There's good news, however, we are currently spoiled for choice with touring tyres that last well over 10,000 miles, with levels of wet and dry grip unimaginable in a road tyre not that long ago.
