ok i made the decission to try a Pirelli tire for my next rear tire.  And looking through the forums i could not fine any tech info for a couple i'am looking at.  Since i do not race at a track im wanting a tire to give me good traction on the street but give me decent tire mileage.  like 2.5 - 3k miles
 
What kinda info can anyone give on the Diablo radial, and the Diablo Corsa?
 
I've read some info on the Corsa 3 and all i can see is that the C3 has a harder center and softer side walls than the plan Corsa.
 
So i guess then ultamate question im asking is what Pirelli tire would be best for me.
 
1. Pirelli Diablo Radial
2. Pirelli Diablo Corsa
3. Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3

OMG. You want it to ONLY last 3k miles? I put that many miles on my bike in like 1 day. Get the Diablo Supersports. Mine have lasted about 10k miles.

the reason i said 3k miles is everyone i talk to say theirs only lasted 3k miles or so... guess i was told 3k miles on a track..and not road.

I'm very happy with my Diablo Supersports, and right now there's a ridiculous sale on them.  And besides, Pirelli sponsors my son's favorite soccer team, Inter Milan.

go with the diablo supersport...no need for the corsa if you're not seeing any tracktime...
 
it's tahoe's tire of choice for all occasions and will suffice up to intermediate track group.
 
it's the perfect tire and now at a more than perfect price at psycho gear! i'm picking this up!

Probably. I think there gona replace the Supersports with the Rossos. The Rossos are only a few bucks more than the supersports.

thanks for the input and help.  i think for the extra 21 bucks ill try the rosso tire.  if its the new replacement tire for the regular diablo then why not get the new one.  Plus more imput on a new tire might help someone else on our site.

lol last wensday or so i got a nail in my tire thats why i have been looking for a new tire to replace the bad one.  well i pluged it and was not going to be in any hurry to get a new one.  this past friday i was going to go ahead and put a new tire on but got to the shop 30 min late..  Sunday i got a 2nd nail in it.  whats the luck of getting 2 nails in 1 week 100 miles apart.  good thing i had the patch kit in the bike trunk.  you know the small place to fit a box of protection in.  lmao Again guys thanks for the help and input
