Title: Pirelli Diablos? Post by: Cher on July 10, 2011, 11:05:05 AM Cyclegear has Pirelli Diablos on sale for 200 bucks a set. Has anyone used this tire? Good or bad? I'm more concerned with grip not outright tire longevity [evil] I usually run Michelin Pilot Powers but the price on the Diablos looks promising. Title: Re: Pirelli Diablos? Post by: muskrat on July 10, 2011, 11:55:28 AM I like them. For that price I'm buying some.

Which diablos are you looking at for $200 a set? I'm having trouble locating them on the CG website...can you please post a link? I have noticed they do have good sale prices on tires occasionally, like mid-winter and mid-summer. I have bought my last two sets of tires on-line from CG, and they arrived fast. Title: Re: Pirelli Diablos? Post by: Cher on July 10, 2011, 12:35:34 PM I saw them over at the Bedford store; big pile of them at the check-out counter. Open till five pm today.

Title: Re: Pirelli Diablos? Post by: Pinocchio on July 13, 2011, 02:34:54 AM I think this might be the item, a set of Diablo SuperSports as follows:
"Add a 120/70-17 front and a 180/55-17 rear to your shopping cart and get the pair for only $189.99! Add a 120/70-17 front and a 190/50-17 rear to your shopping cart and get the pair for only $199.99" They look a lot like the Metzler RoadTec Z6, which is not surprising considering they are both made by Metzler in Germany. I had a set of Z6s on a R1100S that were decent tires. Title: Re: Pirelli Diablos? Post by: Cher on July 13, 2011, 04:55:28 AM Yep, you are correct. I've got a set ready to be installed tomorrow. Not quite as aggressive a tread pattern as I would have wanted - prefer mine to look as close to a set of slicks as possible [evil] - but I've never used Pirellis and the price was right. We'll see [Dolph] Title: Re: Pirelli Diablos? Post by: greenohawk69 on August 04, 2011, 07:55:15 AM Have had these tires and seemed to work well.
