DOFL....muahahhaahha muahahahahaha...muahahahahahhah...mauahahahaha...

AMA wins...blah blah blah...would be forego buying something that's been proven on the track and the road, from a very reputable company...and many racers, trackers, canyon dancers approved, etc...because the brand never won a championship?

i'm telling you...i don't work for them...i don't get free tires from then...nada...but i've used and they are absolutely awesome...whether it be diablos for street and some track...or corsas for all track (waste on the street IMO)...they are the bomb! haven't tried the bling bling supercorsa dragon blah blah blah, etc...cause i'm poor...can't even buy needed tires at the moment...but one day...when little tahoe graduates college, i will be sporting new dragons on my F4i...that will be in about 21 years.

yes...lots of people like the PP...to how well it turns, this and that...but really...do you need a tire that helps you turn because it wants to dive into the turns? wouldn't you rather have one that is neutral and will do what you command instead?

Nope. I like having to work on throttle control. I need the practice.

I also run the Diablo's, they are a great tire. I dont know how they compare to the PP, simply becuase I dont want to run the exact same tire as everyone else on the street.
I may try out a pair, next season, but I doubt it.

I just put on some PP's and they make my life easy, but I do appreciate what Tahoe has to say. Sounds like the Diablo's give you a neutral starting point...the rest is up to you. I think I wil try some Diablos on the next go around just for personal reference.

Yeah, if they're made in France with the following sets of numbers you may want to contact whoever you got the tires from and put on by.

Made in France
DOT 6UCW 980T
DOT 6UCW 979T

Get them checked out lol! I believe the recall effected normal Pilot Powers, and Pilot Power 2CT's 120/70 ZR 17.
