Pirelli Diablo
08/30/12 7:47 PM

Anyone know anything about Pirelli Diablo tires they came on my used 06 zx14 the rear is going to need replaced next year. So I wondered if anyone can compare them to other tires (like how long they last and how well they grip compared to other brand name tires). I am new to this style of riding and want to have an idea how well these tires perform.

Depends on the kind of riding you are looking to do! I ran the Diablo Rosso' and loved them. They do have a quicker turn in compared to the 016's or the pr3, but, that is good if you like to play in the twisties! If I remember right I got 4-5000 miles out of the front, and 2500-3000 out of rear.

The problem with the world today is that there is no one to eat the stupid people!

I had these on the front on my ZRX1100.It was weird the way it fell over going into turns.I got used too it and found it usefull setting up for hot corners.I could carry more speed going into a corner downshift real fast to 2nd then get on the gas real hard.My Rex only had 120 hp so I had to ride it aggressively to get it moving.Now if I had ZX-11 pistons and cams if would of been a different story.

The Diablo Rosso Corsa is a soft sport tire-great grip, not a long life. The Diablo Sport is a price-point ST tire that sold for cheap at Cycle Gear. Pairs were going for around $200 if that tells you anything. Which ones do you have?
