I am getting to about 3500 miles on my stock Bridgestones and want to change them out before this big 2500-mile tour I am taking at the end of the month. I have heard good things about the Pirelli Diablo Corsa IIIs. Anyone ridden with them on a 600RR? Anybody got a recommendation for a tire that's better?

I do no track riding, but a fair bit of twistie riding. I put on some serious speed sometimes, but only on completely straight roads that I know real well with no traffic, and then I just shoot up to speed and straight back down. I mostly ride highways at 90 mph or less for long distances to my favorite roads, where I ride extremely tight corners at 45 mph or so. I do scrape my boots on occasion. So I guess I am saying that I get some good lean from time to time. I am definitely looking for a performance tire.

So what do you guys think of the Pirelli? Got any other recommendations?

 

ive had dunlops andmichelins but these corsa 3's are by far the best (stickiest) for street/track they wear out quicker butwell worth the grip' i can clutch 2nd gear wheelies in the rain, no ****, and the edges are an even stickier compound,. no one in my crew had them when i got mine, now 6 of us have themand counting. everyone loves em, you cant go wrong with the corsa 3's! keep ride'n!

 

i love my DCIIIs. best damn street tire around, hands down.

 

I have never riden the Corsa III's, but I just got the PP 2ct's. By far the best thing I have done to my bike. These things just instill confidence. What I understand is the Corsa's have a more neutral feel, where the 2ct's just dive into corners.

 

i have corsa III's and i am going to stick with them for evey pair of tires from now on. if you ever do track days they are amazing, they are awsome on the street too, but be carefull they take like 5 blocks to warm up. they are a lil squrly if your not careful for those first 5. anyway, i was going 8 lap stinits at thunder hill with them, and i was not chewin them up or over heating them too bad. but im kinda slow.... anyway. GREAT TIRES!!!!
