Finally had to replace the Corsa's with close to exact 10,000 miles. No burn outs, pretty much conservative riding. Minimal cupping on the front, but cord was showing on the rear. It was time. Had a set of Diablo's in reserve and already mounted. Since the Diablo's are of a harder compound, should be able to surpass 10K. |

You are kidding aren't you???? 10,000 mile on a DOT race tyre. I think you should be telling Pirelli not us. |

That is actually the most mileage I have ever gotten on any motorcycle tire. I don't think I will get another set of Dunlops. |

That's amazing. I got 11k on a stock Bridgestone rear (front still had some life left on it) but that was a hockey puck! I'm happy with 3000 miles on D208's still showing significant tread left, and I ride hard. |

That thing on the right handlebar; that's a throttle. You ought to try twisting it a bit more aggressively more often. And gain some weight for cryin' out loud. |

I've just had to replace the diablo's on my 9s, I estimate the rear lasted close on 4,000mls, but had gone square due to too many motorway miles/straightline riding. I have fitted diablo's again as i'm more than impressed with their performance from cold & once warmed-up. Ideal tyre for the XB series........ |
