This has probably been discussed before but when I use search it doesn't load for some reason. Anyway I need a new front tyre, does anyone know of a decent site with 'cheap' prices, the eat prices I have found so far are on www.blackcircles.com. They have a pirelli Diablo for £68.

I have a 1999 hornet so finding 130/79/16 tyres is a little more challenging Sad Knew I should have bought a 17 inch wheel when I saw one come up cheap!

Thanks for any help

I have Metzeler M3s on my 99 Hornet. Can't fault 'em so far.

Nothing wrong with Diablos, they're old hat now though, of the same ilk as the Pilot Powers I have on my Daytona now (£150 fitted, couldnt say no and got scrubs on the way for a trackday or two) but fine for the road and more than enough for any hooliganism.

I had Diablo Corsas on my hornet and liked them a lot, rears didn't last long though. Regular Diablos will give more life for less stickiness.

I have no issue with the pirelli diablo, it's what I'm running on the front now, I'm just wondering on the price of it on different sites, blackcircles is £68 but also has £10 p&p.

Is it the Diablo Strada or something else?


I need new tyres for my Thundercat, but as I spend most of my time commuting I don't really need the most up to date do-everything sport touring tyre. Just something that was considered a good tyre, compared to the woeful dunlops on it now!

Thumbs Up

Just a standard pirelli diablo, not the strada or anything.
