Pirelli Diablos

[JamesW]

Yesterdays mail brought a sales flyer from Cyclegear.com (1-800-292-5343) do not know them, have not done business with them, however they are advertising a set of Pirelli Diablos 120/70ZR-17 +180

/55ZR-17 for 189.99 until 5/8/12. I know zero about Pirellis but thought I would pass it along, seems like inexpensive rubber.

I believe these tires were made for "Buell" before they went out of business? The factory has a shitload to get rid of and they are being offered by m/c dealers and distributors around the world. My riding buddy bought some here in Canada but they don't last very long? Mileage wise! I will stay with my PR2's or 3's.

Weren't the Diablos replaced by Rossos a year or 2 ago? If so, the Diablos are probably getting a little on the old side. But...you'll probably only get 3 or 4k miles out of them anyway.

They don't last long because they are sport bike tires. They will stick like glue, but will wear out pretty fast.

Go easy on those things when you first mount them. I have a set on my FZ1, and the rear end slides around quite a bit, especially when cold. Might be less of an issue with a heavier bike, but due to the performance on my FZ1, I said no.

As far as cycle gear as a reliable store, they are great. They have a store here in Louisville, KY and I've been there many times.
