Pirelli Diablo Corsa III

[chrismeister]

The rear tyre on my ZX6R needs replacing and i've heard good things about the Pirelli Diablo Corsa III, I'm looking for something that will grip really well and make me feel confident in the corners as i'm quite a new rider.

Also, what width measurement would people recommend for someone who doesnt want to feel like the bike is twitchy?

Want a good base to feel confident leaning the bike over.

Thanks!

I've got the previous model (Rossos) on my R1 and will definitely go for the new model when I need to change, they've been superb and are only about halfway worn - just under a hundred miles short of what the OE Dunlops were done at.

Ace tyres, imo.

I've got no complaints about the Corsa IIIs, had them on my bike for the last year or so.

I've got the Diablo Rossos like Dog's I think and they're very good.

Ditto as above.

They seem very grippy, but I have very little to compare them to.

Great in the dry, very fast feeling too.

Totally shit when cold, and worse in the rain if you rev very high.

Sticky, but not good as my Roadsmarts overall., which are very good in the dry and very good in the wet.

The miles is not that much from them either. 2K miles and mine were gone. It depends how you ride though.

Mine are fab in the wet. No probs getting heat into 'em, either.

Mine are also great wet or dry.

I had Corsa 3's on my 9 when I got it. Nice tyres but didn't even get 3k out of the two pairs I had. Great in the dry, but as others have said, wet or cold, they were less than confidence inspiring.

I'm now on my second pair of pilot road 2's, which last 3 times as long and feel much happier wet or cold. Slightly less dry grip, but remember the british weather...
