Best one around
I did some research and could not find a better one. Great price, the best quality you could wish for. I do not think I will be using more than 70% of its full potential.

Excellent tires
Just got back from a 1500 mi trip down to the Tail of the Dragon in the Smokey Mountains. The tires were great, tons of grip and quick warm up time. They did get a little squarly in the little bit of rain but that was probably mostly the oil on the roads coming up from the light moisture.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso Front Tyre
I have only ridden about 100 miles on these tires, so they are just losing the mold film. However, so far they are leaps and bounds ahead of the Dunlops that came on my BKing stock. I will update my review after track day.

I gotta say that I am more than surprised on the performance of these tires. I cannot believe the great improvement my bike got from just a tire upgrade. These are on a 97 GSX600 and I will definitely buy these tires again or refer it to my friends.

Great tires
I'm very happy, such an improvement over the stock tires (Bandit 1250s). They are so grippy and improve the handling of the bike so much. If they last as long as Pirelli says I will only use them.

Just great.
The front tires have never failed me. They stick well to the road. I have never felt it slip under the pressure of hard cornering. Even under heavy breaking I have never felt it give. These are extremely good tires for a respectable price.

Great Compromise
I switched from the Corsa III to the Rosso because the Rosso is more economical. I do not think that I have lost much traction and the performance of the tires is comparable to the corsa III. The Rosso seems to warm up faster than the Corsa III and the tread life should be better. I only have about 1500 miles on them so far, so it is hard to say if they last longer yet. I am definitely glad that I made the switch. The Rosso is more economically priced and I did not have to give up much in the way of traction in order to gain some mileage. I highly recommend them.

WOW
these are the first pair of pirelli tire's I've bought and WOW I have never felt the control I have in cornering than with these, considering that they are narrower than your average tire's all in all never going to another tire

This is my third and they wear well and are very sticky. I run a Rosso on the front and a Diablo Strata on the rear. I love the Pirellis.

Great tires with fantastic grip. I have had Pilot Pros and loved the grips. These give the same sense of stability and I am very happy with my purchase. Motorcycle Superstore will definitely get my business in the future.

Track day and everyday
I bought these tires for track day. Usually wear them out in 50 or so laps. I went almost 100 laps that day and over 200 miles of track riding. I not only had great confidence on the track, I also have enough tread life left for a couple of thousand more miles. That's quality! Thanks Pirelli and Motorcycle Superstore. Zac

Rosso Tires absolutely rock! - Track + Street
Ok, Now I have rosso's on 2 different bikes and I love them. I thought because it wasn’t a Corsa III or a Pilot Power that they wouldn't hold - not true. These tires last longer, and hold just as good as the top performing tire. I went to my first track day on these tires. I doubt I will ever try another tire unless it’s an all out racing slick. Pirelli' has got everything right with these tires. I ran the track on my 2005 GSXR 600 on a brand new front and 1/2 used rear with tons of side traction left and they hook up. I also put a set on my 2002 Aprilia RSV R Mille. Great tire Pirelli!!!

great tires
Ordered the set for my 06 zx10r and they have been working perfect. Way better than stock. The only bad thing was when i ordered them; i received a bad front tire. it had cracks all around when you squeezed the tire. The company had no problem refunding me and sending me a new front tire. Great service! And cheap prices.

I'm a 35 year veteran of the streets and having owned and ridden many different sport bikes with countless different tire brands this was my first time ever using Pirelli tires and was apprehensive to say the least. I have mainly used Metzeler tires in the past and have been very happy with their performance. I decided to try a set of Pirelli Rosso's on my heavily modified Kawasaki ZRX1100 and couldn't be happier with the end results. Mounting and balancing was a piece of cake and required very little wheel weight. Just 10 miles into my scrub in ride and I could already tell that these were some seriously nice tires. Turn in was fantastic and very neutral, the ride was very smooth and controlled and grip was not a issue. I think I have just found a new tire supplier!

I've put almost 5k miles on my set of Pirelli's. I'm a huge canyon/coastal run rider. Before I had the stock tires on my bike and I was ever so hesitant to put much lean. After 10k miles on the original tires, replaced them with the Rosso's. Tires are awesome and I have almost removed any of the chicken strips I had on my other tires. I have full confidence at any lean angle I choose that the tires will stick, turn to turn. They heat up quick and stick like stank to....well you know. Excellent product, I know what I'll put back on once I run the life of the current set. Good job Pirelli once again.

I purchased a set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires for my 2005 Triumph Speed Triple and I've got about 300 miles on them now and I can say that they perform excellently. They warm up quickly and really grip the road even though I've been going out on some pretty cold days. Good bang for the buck.

GREAT TIRE
Amazing on turns, stable as h**l, great traction even under crazy situation (stunting), these tires grippppp, long lasting
Lance Motorhead Lambert

Great Buy
I have been riding street for 18 years and always ran Bridgestone or Dunlop. I figured I would try Pirelli after several fellow riders told me they enjoyed them.
I am the first in my crew to run the new Rosso's and am very pleased! I don't do track days, but am big on canyons and coastal runs. They have a neutral turn-in and excellent traction. The only slight negative I noticed was a slight harsher straight line ride than comparable makes.
If you are looking for a great bang-for-buck tire, look no further. Not only are these a great value, but Motorcycle Superstore has the best price online period.
Cheers, Lance "Motorhead"

Love this tire
It was pretty slick at first, as any front tire, but I've pushed it pretty hard and find it to be a great all around tire for city riding and definitely more than enough for what I do. If I go to the track I'll have full confidence in this tire. I look forward to purchasing one for the rear as well.

Pirelli - Diablo Rosso Front Tire
I bought this tire after reading several reviews... And let me tell you what the tire lived up to all of my expectations... The tire handles great on all types of road surfaces.. I have had no problems with handling at all. When it comes time to change my rear tire I will be buying the Diablo Rosso Rear Tire..

I am very satisfied with this tire, my bike had an older Dunlop on it when i purchased it and i thought it was good until i felt the difference in the Pirelli. i am very happy with this product also with the fast service and delivery that i have received from the Motorcycle Superstore.

Rosso Front
This is the fourth set of tires I've put on my 07 BMW K1200 GT (Metzler Z-3, Z-6, Avon Storms, Bridgestone 21). Riding is mostly mountains with the occasional freeway drone between the mountains, I do live in Southern California, the “Crest” is only 5 min away and my riding buddy is on a 08 ZX-10. The front tire feel is great, I've been pushing the fronts harder and only got about 2,000 miles out of a set of Bridgestone 21's, which start to get a little squirmy after about 10 min of hard riding. I wore the front faster than the rear! Which means I'm trail braking more into the corners and getting on the gas sooner. After a couple hard rides, the tires feel great and they don't look abused like past tires. The rears feel great also, no problems getting on the gas early. Tracking is great and mid-corner line changes is effortless. I like the nude shoulder and knowing you have maximum rudder contact. It's amazing how much tires have advanced in recent years!

Great tire - great price
Not that I'm a tire guru, but these Diablo Rossos are great. Just back from my first track day at VIR, I feel like they held strong and performed well. On top of that, they're reasonably priced. Disregard my "wet traction" and "tread life" rating, because I've only ridden in the dry and not long enough to know tread life.

Diablo Rosso Sport Tire Review
Not quite as sticky as the Dunlop Qualifiers but excellent tires all around. When I read the reviews on this tire, I saw that others who have ordered them compared them straight across to the Qualifiers. NOT so!! The compound is quite a bit stiffer so you don't get quite as sticky results and hence a little less performance in the corners...although still sticks them pretty darn good. It also took a bit longer to rough them up when put on new. I expect to see these tires last a few more miles than the Qualifiers because the compound is harder. I hope that is going to be the truth, as the sticky Qualifiers only lasted me about 4500 miles with a pretty aggressive riding style. I do like these Rossos and if they end up giving me more miles than the Qualifiers, I'll be ordering them again. BTW, these were put on my '06 Ninja 650R.

The BEST tires I have had on my 06 CBR600RR. The guys on the 1000's I ride with have even more trouble keeping up with me in the corners now.

Front and rear review
I researched like crazy on which tires to purchase for the rider that loves curves yet needs mileage since it's somewhat of a daily commute. I chose these due to the claimed mileage wear by others of about 4-6k miles. The only tires that I have to compare to are the crappy Dunlops that came with my SV650 but WOW. You can pick a line with these tires and they follow that line. I feel very confident in these tires. Haven't tried them in the rain nor can I review on the tread-life so I'm going by rumors on those ratings.

These are some of the best tires I have ever ridden on! After the initial 100 mile oil slick wore off, the tires felt like I was gliding on a buttery biscuit! I had qualifiers and those were nothing compared to these! I recommend this product to anyone that is a daily rider that rides hard!

Rosso Tires Very Smooth and Stable
The Rosso tires are the smoothest and most stable tires I have put on my '02 VFR. Although they do not seem to have the stick of the Diablo III, they absorb everything the road can throw at you. With only 500 miles wear is not an issue yet.

The stickiest Street Tires $ can buy...
I have Rosso's front and back of my Buell XB12R you have to tuck the knee into the frame on corners to keep your knee cap on your knee. Once these tires have heat in them they feel like slicks. You cannot do a rear wheel burnout once the tire is warm because it just grips and pushes the front wheel forward because of the bigger contact patch the 190 rear has over the 120 front... I know on my Buell I can do over double the post MPH on twisty's and never notice. NO LIE!

Pirelli Diablo Rosso
I just mounted these tires on my Speed Triple. The bike came stock with Michelin Pilot Powers. I liked the Mich's a lot, but despite some very spirited canyon rides the center of the tire seemed be wearing considerably faster than the sides. When it came time to replace them I talked to a few of my riding buddies to see which tires they had good luck with. The Diablo’s seemed to be a favorite of just about everyone I talked to (several of whom compared them very favorably to the Metzeler Sportecs). Everyone also bragged about the long life they had gotten on the Diablo’s (6-7k), I thought they would be worth a shot. So far the tires seem pretty great. Since I haven't had any traction issues yet with the Pirelli I think I will continue using them if I get better mileage than I did with the Michelins.

I have a 2005 636 which of course is not as powerful as some but will scoot none the less. I must say I am very happy with these tires! They are harder in the center for longer life and softer on the edges. I love corners and curves and I have tested them time and time again. You can really tell how well they grab in the corners from when riding in a straight line on the harder center. Its feels like throwing a sponge on the ground soaked in glue. I previously had Supercorsa Pro's and they were great but did not last.

best so far (2007 ZX10R)
Got a front and rear set for my 2007 zx10r. Best upgrade money can buy for this motorcycle. Not only sticks like on glue in turns, you can go low, reeeeaaaly low, but also makes bike feel like a bicycle at low speeds, really easy to control. Definitely worth buying!
