Pirelli tire tech. question - 5/5/2008 6:35:24 PM    112octane   Posts: 9 Joined: 4/24/2008 Status: offline 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 _____________________________ You might beat me, So I'll get her number for you!! Post #: 1

I put that many miles on my bike in like 1 day. Get the Diablo Supersports. Mine have lasted about 10k miles. (in reply to 112octane) Post #: 2

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.
