you've not seen me riding yet have you

Would that not be more to do with the profile of the Supercorsa, which if memory serves uses a pointier carcass than the regular Diablos? Not sure, never used one, but a little bird told me they're on the same carcass as the Rennsports. Mine's wearing a Roadtec, it's a slightly taller profile than the 60 but it's far from pointy, won't drop in like some. Some people like it the other way, I like a round-shouldered tyre though, seems to work better for half-witted corner corrections and the like.

Rennsports and S-Corsa are identical tyres (apart from tread pattern). The racetechs kinda superseded the Supercorsa (or at least are the next level) and just as 'pointy' as the corsa ... I have never seen a Diablo in 70 section, so can't comment, but either way it is going to have to be a sharper profile than a 60

V good question. I`m also about to change my front and was looking at tyres for about 1/2 hour last night, wondered many of the same things and have decided to stick with what i know, i.e 60 on the front

I was persuaded to change to 70 on my standard bike. Loved the change, but that could have been completely down to New Tyres Syndrome. When I do the GSXR swap it will be onto a 65, as that's what it came with.

As a average rider (maybe sub average :/) i didnt like the change from 60 to 70 profile tyre , i traded my stock d220 for a pair of bt-014 , the bike fells more twitchy , and more easy to lean , but its harder to correct my lines while the bike is leaned , dont know if it makes any sense or if its due to a difrent profile on rear and front tyre , but thats just what i fell .

On the plus side , with the 70 front , if i use the front brake while the bike is leaned over she no longer trys to get up , as it did whit the d220 , also hard braking fells a lot safer , but that must be because of the better ruber on the bt-014!
