Pirelli Diablo Rosso

I'll post some pics of my strada's... but after 4k... 3500 of super slab and 500 of twisties... they're just SLIGHTLY flat spotted... and I mean SLIGHTLY.

OUTSTANDING tire IMO... never had a pucker moment with them... I'd venture to guess I could make my trip 2 more times with these same tires and still have tread to spare...

I was leaning toward the strada's after talking with you in Indy, but have read good stuff about the Pilot Road 2. But I'll take word of mouth over read reviews most days

Cutty saw mine yesterday and was really surprised how little they showed for wear.

I never even thought about my tires other than the chain lube on my left side... and even with that... never even felt a bit of slide... and I very nearly erased my chicken strips in what... a total of 3 days of twisty riding... EVER. lol

Mine don't show hardly anything after 1000 miles of interstate.

Did you get Rosso's for $263 shipped? Man,I still have another set of Diablos to wear through!

I love the Rosso. I've heard a lot of good about the Strada though- sounds like it's nearly as grippy with better mileage.

trock, you still liking the rosso tires?

I like em a lot, but I'm not a good enough rider to tell you the difference.
