Hi guys, The time has come for some new rubber for my 2013 Blade, and been looking at Diablo Rosso Corsa as they seem to get good reviews by the press and looking round on the net. Since getting my Blade, I've only used S20's (2 sets) and while happy with these, can't help thinking I'm missing out on better options. I'm getting about 2,000 miles out of the S20's. So, what I want is: Performance over mileage Something that gives plenty of grip in the dry, and not bad in the wet (Don't actively ride in wet, but want something that can handle it when I'm caught out) Something that looks awesome! I ride pretty hard, only in the dry and run slicks (on my Honda RS250GP) when doing trckdays so just need a tyre for the road. Is the Diablo Rosso Corsa the right tyre for me? Are people going 55 or 50 The Supercorsa's looks awesome, but I bet they are crap in the wet!? Real world reviews on later Blades would be great! Cheers
Try Diablo super corsas I do all the time heat up quick and good for the road,not many miles out of them but gives you the confidence of the sticky rubber under your arse.sc1 front and sc2 comp rear works for me
Cheers, but what they like in the wet? I seem to get courght out more often than not on rides recently! What mileage on road you getting?
I have just brought a set of new Supercorsas for my Daytona.. Always had Racetecs before but that's what was on my Daytona so stuck with them. £160 the pair.
How many miles are you guys getting to the Rosso Corsa?? I am planning a short euro trip will these suffice on my S1000RR. I did plan on fitting D212's which I have bought but change of heart as they won't take well to touring. Sold to a forum member so just doing my home work.
You've answered your own question Silky! You say you ride hard and only in the dry, and wet weather grip is just if you get caught out, so Super Corsa's appear to fit the bill. I use the Rossa Corsa's as they are virtually as gripy in the dry (you'd need to be on a Track Day TBH to separate them) are far better in the wet and last far longer. They won the Performance Bikes 'Best Tyre' of 2013. I did one Track Day on them on my Blade and they were spot on. 55 Series all Day long!
Get me 2 pair bud at that price I have a account with Cambrian and get get anywhere near that price sc1and 2 rear
Cheers! Sounds like I should go for the Rossa Corsa's if the dry (road) grip is the same, they are better in the wet, and last longer!? What miles you getting out of them? The Supercorsas look like more track than road to me? So 55 is the one to go for, suppose they give a bigger contact patch?
I have a brand new set of super corsas 200/55/17 120/70/17, still got stickers on, I was going to fit them for summer but still got loads of life in the rosso corsas I have on now. PM me if you're interested
