Tyre profiles
Does anyone know tyre profile difference D218 / Pirelli Diablo Corsa / Michelin Pilot Power?

Are you referring to relative shapes or available aspect ratios?

Totaly non-scientific, undocumented personal opinion. I used to think that Dunlops (D208ZR, D207ZR, D207RR) were more rounded than the Pirelli Diablo Corsa in the same size. But to my eye, it seems like to D218 has less "roundness" to it. I have never seen a Michelin Pilot Power in real life.

I'm going to replace D218 with same size (120/70 & 190/50) Diablo Corsas quite soon. Just interested if any fork/shock correction is needed to compensate tyre profile height difference.

Yeah there are differences in overall height. If you buy from a track vendor, they will be able to give you the specs and help you make the changes. If not, call Trackside Racers Supply ( I think. Go to Roadracingworld.com and look for the link to Pirelli vendors) and ask them what the numbers are. Sorry I can't help as I am using Dunlops on my race bike, but hopefully the info can get you in the right direction
