Put a set of Diablos on after getting 2k out of the stock tires. Rode 100mi on them today on some twisties. Bike turns much better and holds the line if you have to get on the brakes in corner. Much improvement overall. The tire profile is much more peaked in the middle which seems to make it roll into turn easier. Riding the same course that I always do, I still have a fair amount of chicken strip left as opposed to none on the Dunlops due to the higher Pirelli profile. I would recommend to any of you corner burners to try them. |

I agree with you completely Vaughn. I've been riding Corsas for 800 miles now. I get much better response while cornering. I too had chicken strips for the first 250 miles but have finally killed the little birds. |

I also highly recommend the Diablos ..put them on my XB9S about 500 miles ago ,feels like a completely different bike for the better with the Pirelli's ..I echo all of Vaughn's comments |

I've got over 3K on my Diablos and they still have quite a bit of life left in them. They have worked out great for me. Good grip, good handling. I just squeezed 2,800 out of the stock tires. |

I just put my second rear Diablo on about 800 miles ago. I got 7,000 miles out of my first rear Diablo. Front is still good. |

No chicken strips on my last set!!!NO devil fork marks,just go my 2nd rear,had left over front that had about 1200 miles or so.Will get the front before the Ridge Run.Great tire for the performance and with the mileage that comes with it.I drag knees with this tire,But the SUPER CORSA is the best PERFORMANCE tire for me!!!!I've had M-1's D207,D208 the Diablo is one of the best for the bucks!!!! |

Thats the reason I ordered the Diablo's. Heard that the Corsa's pretty much sucked in the wet. Still waiting for my tires to get here. Need to get em mounted & put some miles on before the track day next monday. |
