Evening guys and sorry for another tyre thread! I currently have the original Pirelli Diablo Corsas (from 2007) on my blade (not Rosso corsas) but I've finally killed the rear so I need new tyres. My problem - budget is about £200 fitted for both. I use my bike all year round in wet or dry but like a very spirited ride in the dry and have enjoyed the grip the Diablo corsas have given me? So far I've seen... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291068367192 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=160877251105 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=161120266347 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=201052420292 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301106151048 Or controversially... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271465508619 Any thoughts? I'd really welcome any advise, I can't afford the 'decent rubber' that you lot usually discuss, sorry, lol!
Thanks mate, they ok in the wet too? Found my exact tyre in a 50 profile for cheap but surely these are old now?! http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=371015973047
Although slightly old hat now The Michelin 2ct is still a great tyre both wet and dry with decent mileage these should fit your budget and you won't be disappointed.
Hi mate, how is it going. I have just fitted Pirelli Rosso Corsas in the 55 profile, they have transformed the bike. Mind you I don't like Dunlops tyres full stop so a lot of doubt was in my head. I found a place doing those for just over £200 a pair but I cannot find the link now !!
Cheers Giv, I've heard good reviews over the years about them, are they a lot different to the PP's? Mate has just fitted PP's and is currently raving about them, lol!
Hello mate! Good thanks apart from the usual chasing that knobhead for money, lol! Family ok? Come on, find me the link, that sounds great!!!
http://1000rr.co.uk/mods-upgrades-accessories-products/17995.htm Although £270 fitted they would be ideal for an all year round rider and would actually be cheaper overall as they would last twice as long as your proposed £200 choices.
Exactly what I was going to say.... Although I'd bang scrubs on for 99 quid all day long - no controversy there??? Know loads lads that do it.....
I see you point but it's a fair amount more that I just can't afford at present DRCs are about the same price but as I say I just can't afford that much
How would they fare in the wet when commuting? My current rear is bald as in the middle and I can live with that but it's the front I'd worry about? It is tempting, lol!
Another vote for 2CTs, used them on my RR6 then RR8 then RRC Cheap from here Tyre Michelin Pilot Power 2CT 190/50 ZR17 73W TL, High Quality - Tyre Leader (£180 ish a pair)
Not sure if it helps but I remember someone on here quite recently selling a set of new Bridgestone 023's. I ran these all year last year and they were great. Ron Haslam was running them at his school before the T30's. The 023's aren't top of the range now so you should be able to pick them up at a decent price.
