Pirelli Diablo on the 14R?
Has anyone tried the Pirelli Diablo's on the 14R? If so what did you think of them?

I fitted the new Pirelli Angel GT tyres on my 14R, fantastic tyres much better than the factory supplied Metzelers , my bike is more stable in corners & very stable at high speeds, I have not tested in the rain but it is apparantly very good according to Pirelli one should get about 8 to 10 000 km's on a set. The Angel GT is a combo of sport & touring , I cant comment on the Diablo never used a set

Try the new Dunlop Q3's - they were built for the 14, fabulous tires.

Had the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II on my 2013 14R... they worked well, excellent dry grip but not so good in the wet and didn't last very long, after 4000 km (~2500 miles) they were very worn.
Am using the Pirelli Angel GT now... almost as good in the dry, much better in the wet, and after 5000 km (~3100 miles) so far they are still looking good.

Normally I run pirelli diablo supercorsas on my 06.
But lately its been hard to get a smokin deal on them so I've been running the Diablo rosso corsas.
Bitchin tire for canyon carving grip . Havent had a problem with sticking like glue to the road.
They feel very much like the supercorsas. I tried the rosso II and the grip Is decent.
the rear feels like it wants to slip but I havent had it happen. Not a bad tire for the price.

I just put on the rosso ii and last sunday went for 500 mile run through new Hampshire. The tires were great, never lost grip never felt unsure. We road the kangamangus rd twice hitting some good speeds and even found a few spots on the highway to see 180mph on the speed O. I love these tires. I went with a 190/55 on the rear and noticed a small improvement in transition from side to side. Now to see how long they last.
