OK so the XB is my first soft compound tire. I've been very neglectful, how prone to flat spots are these tires? Mine are Pirelli Diablo Stradas. |

Unless you store it for months on end or skid to a stop you shouldn't have a problem with flat spots. |

These are radial tires... flat spots really shouldn't happen. |

Not an issue - soft compound really has no effect on flat spots - theoretically might be possible but in the real world, no. Get your tires based on your needs/intended usage and ride em! |
