For the guys running Pirelli Diable Corsa III's....what pressure are you running? My Pilot Powers liked higher pressure...I ran them 37 front and rear and never had issues slipping or sliding. How bout with the Corsas? | ||

I'm wondering about that as well. I've got about 50 miles on my III's and I set the pressures at 40 and 38.....don't know if its right or not, but I do know they stick like glue....incredible tires even with the oily film from the factory they didn't slip....but I too would like a more educated approach at setting the pressures on them. | ||

I run mine at 34/36 | ||

34 front/ 36 rear or vice versa? | ||

You interested in performance/handling or long life? Those are two different pressures. For max tire life, use the Pirelli recommended pressure (34/36 sounded about normal). For track or spirited riding, you can start at 31/30 (front/rear)- but realize that you will burn through a set of tires in just 3 track days or about 1/4 the miles on the street - but the handling will be dramatically better. 31/30 is how they were set out here at Inside Pass track day at Willow Springs. | ||

I'm looking for grip. I couldn't care less about milage....I just want them to stick. I'll try low to mid 30's and see how they feel. Thanks! | ||

On the street I would try 32/34, Then adjust from there. I run them this way on Spirited rides. Make sure to check them when they are warm. Track days I would do 30/31 (F/R) as stated above. | ||

Pirelli experience has indicated that if a rider checks HOT (just off the track) pres- sures and maintains them at 34.5psi to 36psi for both the front and rear tire they will keep the tires in the “sweet spot” of the temperature range and give maximum performance. Tire warmers should be installed for 45 minutes to 1 hour of use at approximately. 160 F before track use. Suspension condition and set up will di- rectly affect performance of tires and motorcycle handling. Improper set up and or improperly maintained suspension will directly negatively affect tire performance and wear charticistics. Racing and track day use of Pirelli tires constitutes extreme use and voids all ex- pressed and implied warranties. Diablo Superbike is a NON-DOT approved acing slick and in never to be used on the street. Anyone purchasing these NON- DOT approved slicks must present a valid Motorcycle racing license. Rider assume all risks for racing and track riding and manufacturer shall not be liable for proximate, incidental, or conse- quential damages except where limited or prohibited by law. ((Derek’s Point)) Also like to state ,, that Pirelli recommends, for expert racers to run ALL there tires at 31Psi Front Hot and Rear 28 to 29Psi Hot . I wanted to share this info on the hot Psi. to recognize that there is a Psi. range that a person can adjust in , depending on there riding level. But I would only recommend that the Advance guys trying these Psi ranges, because if the tire does not heat up to a 150 TO 170 F It will feel like you have a flat tire, and could cause you to loose control of the bike.} | ||

I run my Corsa III's at 32/34 (front/rear) too. 36 on the rear is a little slippery for my taste. 34 is pretty good for street use. However I'm showing tire carcass inside of 3,000 miles at that rear tire pressure. | ||

I run 32/34 as well for the street. 30/30 cold for the track. |
