Default Pirelli tire tech. question

ok i made the decission to try a Pirelli tire for my next rear tire. And looking through the forums i could not fine any tech info for a couple i'am looking at. Since i do not race at a track im wanting a tire to give me good traction on the street but give me decent tire mileage. like2.5 - 3kmiles

What kinda info can anyone give on the Diablo radial, and the Diablo Corsa?

I've read some info on the Corsa 3 and all i can see is that the C3 has a harder centerand softer side walls than the plan Corsa.

So i guess then ultamate question im asking is what Pirelli tire would be best for me.

1. Pirelli Diablo Radial
2. Pirelli Diablo Corsa
3. Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3

OMG. You want it to ONLY last 3k miles? I put that many miles on my bike in like 1 day. Get the Diablo Supersports. Mine have lasted about 10k miles.

the reason i said 3k miles is everyone i talk to say theirs only lasted 3k miles or so... guess i was told 3k miles on a track..and not road.

I'm very happy with my Diablo Supersports, and right now there's a ridiculous sale on them. And besides, Pirelli sponsors my son's favorite soccer team, Inter Milan.

Front & Rear Pair Package Price
120/60-17 & 160/60-17 $169.98
120/70-17 & 180/55-17 $169.98
120/70-17 & 190/50-17 $179.98

go with the diablo supersport...no need for the corsa if you're not seeing any tracktime...

it's tahoe's tire of choice for all occasions and will suffice up to intermediate track group.

it's the perfect tire and now at a more than perfect price at psycho gear! i'm picking this up!
