Surface

Dry to wet; Warm or cold roads

Grip

Grips like no other. Makes it possible to really throw your bike around on backroads.

Stability

Good, Smooth ride. A little bumpy at high speeds (interstate, highways, etc)

Handling

Quick to dip down through curves but not the best on sudden stops or changes.

Comments

I love these tires. I go through a set of sport these in about a month to the back and about 2 months to the front. While expensive, you will definatley get your moneys worth

I used to be pro Dunlop. My local shop convinced me to try these and I have no regrets. Diablos are a little salty but worth every penny.

Surface

Type of surface tested on. Temp. Weather Conditions- Highway surfaces-rough to smooth-temps range 45-80. Weather fair.

Grip

Grip is secure and confident. Can lean in all the way to the edge and not feel like it's going to break loose. Can use the rear brake at will. Have been able to enter corners with a lot more speed and confidence since I had these installed. Beats the stock Dunlops hands down! Warms up fast. Definite difference in handling. A lot smoother. Doesn't turn in like before.

Stability

Stability etc.Totally stable at speed-absorbs the road well-I adjusted my rebound damping some(it was set up too stiff)and put the Diablos on-cornering totally secure now. No tankslap like before with the Dunlops.

Handling

Quick or slow to lean in or react to changes.-Tires are nuetral-if you could call them that-They go where you want them to go-without any hesitation or balk. Fast or slow-they inspire confidence in the handling.

Comments

I would say that these tires were well worth putting on. My old Dunlops just didn't feel right in the curves-I never could feel quite safe in leaning it because it felt like it was slipping and the front never really felt like it was gripping right. Got some severe tankslaps from the Dunlops coming out of the corners a couple of times-now not a wiggle with my Pirelli's!! And I'm going in and coming out much faster.
