Author Message   Biffdotorg Posted on Monday, April 04, 2011 - 12:32 pm:        1430000 Seems to be the Pirelli Diablo Value Supersport tire. Is this any sort of replacement for the Diablo Strada? Pricing is from $103 to $149 online. Dennis Kirk has them at $103 and free shipping, plus their $5 tire fee. I have had great luck with the original Diablo Stradas. Other than nails, they have held up real well. If this is just a crap budget tire, I may consider the Scorpion Trail. But if it is similar to the Diablo Strada, I may consider it. The Strada is still being sold in Europe, why not here!! GRRR. Thanks for any advice guys.   Mideon Posted on Monday, April 04, 2011 - 12:39 pm:        I just had a new Strada rear put on my XB12XT at Gateway Harley here in Saint Louis it was $135 installed. They are offering 50% off tires   Biffdotorg Posted on Monday, April 04, 2011 - 05:37 pm:        That's a crazy good deal! 1. That tire is gone in most places in store or online 2. Installation could add up to an hour shop time alone! Good for you!   Mideon Posted on Monday, April 04, 2011 - 05:50 pm:        They have always been good at bird-dogging things down for me when it comes to parts. They do ship with the tire deal I know too. It's nice to have someone that is still supporting Buell. They are even looking at maybe carrying the new Erik Buell Racing bikes   Ourdee Posted on Monday, April 04, 2011 - 07:58 pm:        I just picked up a set of Pirelli Diablo Supersport tires for 170 bucks and free shipping from Cycle Gear. I will find out as the summer plays out if they are any good. Same tread pattern as the Stradas.   Froggy Posted on Monday, April 04, 2011 - 08:21 pm:        The Angel is the replacement for the Strada, so I doubt this Value tire is it. Pirelli has changed pretty much every member of the Diablo family in the last year, I can't keep up with whats what, but if its Pirelli I woudn't mind running it.   Biffdotorg Posted on Tuesday, April 05, 2011 - 10:46 am:        I sent off a quick email to Gateway Harley. $135 is what most of us were paying for that tire alone while it was distributed in the US! If they are not running the special anymore, or are unable to help out, I may look into a Scorpion Trail. It seems to be a nice replacement for street use, but add a little extra grip on the forest roads. Thanks guys!   Ourdee Posted on Tuesday, April 05, 2011 - 10:28 pm:        I mounted the SuperSports tonight in my garage with a pair of pry bars and my wife on the end on one of them. Now I remember why I usually pay someone else to do that. Oh, did I mention seating them with a bicycle hand pump. The pattern is a little more open than the stradas. (correction to my prior post)
