Hi,


Just wanted to share my experience about the Pirelli Diablo scooter tires,


I bought them about 3000 km ago, at the beginning it was fine, more grip than the stock tires and more comfortable (but any other tires would have done better than the stock tires).


Right now after about 3 or 4k km, the tires are total crap, it's incredible how fast they became "sh**ty", i slide in every "real" turns, emergency brakings are so scary, hard to explain but the bike is so unstable, what is surprising is that when you look the tire actually you can't really see that they are fucked up, you can see that they're a bit old but it's not so obvious, but when you drive it, oh yes !


So my next tires will be Michelin power pure or contitwist, and as i'm "old school" i will just never buy any other pirelli tire of my entire life.




Cheers

How's your tire pressure? What's the manufacture date of the tires?

Hi, will check the inf after work, i checked the pressure a couple of days ago and it was all right, i can't remember the numbers.

Thanks for the heads up Michelin is what I got, still waiting for my Black Grom.

Ride safe

I've used many types of Pirelli sport tires and never had an issue, so to each their own.

I'm sorry they didn't work out on your Grom. Seems odd that they would just turn "bad" though.

I've decided on the Michelin Power Pures, just got to find a set in Pattaya....

My Diablos handled GREAT on my GSXR600 and my F4i. Laid it down, kiss a little knee, straight line, whatever. They road good and stuck great.

Damm i changed the tires but forgot to check the manufacture date, regarding the pressure im not quite sure but i had inflated them a couple of times and it was always terrible at the end, i felt like i was driving with plastic tires (i have also to say that bkk's road are maybe not the most tender with tires).

Now i already have my power pure ! lovely tires, the gum is so tender ! driving is so smooth
