Bracey Nebo,  NC diablo SS This tire is great for the enthusiast rider who wants the most out of his tire. Has an intermediate compound and is good and beefy to last long. Shape of tire is great for those knee dragging corners

robert p lockport,  NY pirlli-diablo supersport Overall I am greatly pleased with the tire. I put about 1000 hard miles on it and the wear is down to a minimum. Handling in the rain is good, I would recommend this tire to any sport rider.

M San Francisco,  CA Supersticky Supersport This is my second time around having these after a long life with my previous tire. Very confident in the corners and super quick to heat up. I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did with only typical wear in the middle for my commute. Always easy to flick em around in the twisties too.

Drew D Wichita,  KS luv my new pirelli! Excellent bang for the buck tire. Why try & save $25 bux & get a shinko when this tire is available? I am still experimenting with what kind of tire is best for me, but I am very pleased with this Diablo. Thanks to superstore for making the process so easy & fast delivery! I really luv dealing with you guys. Thanks a bunch.

Chris Englewood,  FL Great tire. For the price and the average rider these tires are more than enough, I have pushed them to their limit they're very forgiving and even for a supersport tire they get decent mileage, this is my second set of them and for the price I’ll never change..

Andrew Edmonds Divernon,  IL Pirelli Diablo Supersport Rear This is the best tire I have owned in the four years I have owned a street bike. This tire warms up fast and I’m confident to take turns and knee drag even in nasty weather. I had the opportunity to ride in rain the other day, didn’t bother me one bit knowing I had the Pirelli on. Also motorcycle superstore saved me about $190 on the set of front and rears compared to getting tires through dealerships and shops. And I even upgraded my rear to a 190/50/zr17. Never listen to the people at the dealerships and shops saying not to buy tires from online stores, they are just pissed that u tapped their source. thanks guys and gals you have a customer for life. Live fast Die hard!

Rich Reynolds Monroe,  WA Pirelli Diablo Supersport I replaced my stock Brigestone tire with the Pirelli. There is much more stability on the road especially when going over uneven pavement. With my old tire I'd get slight twitches going over the same road. I have a Yamaha YZF600R and the tire is very true in the corners. I'd highly recommend this tire as a great replacement to the stock tires.

Josh mobile,  AL Great feeling tire I got a set of these for my 03 XB9R, they arrived quick and were exactly what I ordered. The rear feels great, nice and sticky and seems to warm up fast. Not sure about the rain, I don't ride in on purpose. Durability I am also unsure of since I have only had the tires a month or so, but they don't show any signs of wear after a few good rides. Although they do look exactly like the picture they do not look quite as cool as I thought they would and they do not have yellow raised letters...oh well. Great value overall!

Tyler Hunter Savoy,  IL Best Tire and Price This tire by far blows the Dunlap Qualifiers away. I don't lay down around corners too often, this tire makes corners fun again. Within a couple minutes of riding you can almost lay the bike on its side when taking corners very comfortable too for someone who doesn't ride like that all the time. Haven't had a chance to ride in the rain with this tire, but from all other reviews on this page and my first couple weeks riding with the tire on. All of the good reviews are right on, I would definitely buy this tire again as the dealership's cheapest tire was the Dunlap's for $180, you can't beat the price here or the service. I will without question purchase most if not all parts and accessories from here.

Dan Westminster,  SC Great Tire. I have 400 miles on it so far and it has felt great. It is a little bit better than the Bridgestone Battleaxe that was factory. It gets warm fast and sticks to the pavement. Great to drag or kneedrag. I don’t ride in the rain so cant really give rating on that.

Ed Belveny Pittsburgh,  PA Diablo Tire I bought a 03 cbr600rr used and it had Pirelli Diablo’s on them already and they warmed up quick and had great grip. So I decided to get another when the time came and I couldn't be happier about my purchase and the price was un-matched. I will definitely buy my front tire from these guys.

Jason Marietta,  GA Good tire for money This was a replacement for my stock Pirelli which came on my bike. As usual, it provides good grip which makes you comfortable when pushing the bike going into and coming out of corners. The Motorcycle Superstore price was more than right since they saved me about $70 buck based on what was being charged locally. Since I do my own mounting and balancing - I really saved a lot of money.

James Gale Brooklyn,  NY Great tire This is a terrific tire and a perfect match for my '93 Ducati 900 Supersport. I ride reasonably hard in all weather, and these tires inspire great confidence. I considered the 'Rosso' but the price on the 'Diablo' was too good. The service from Motorcycle superstore was exemplary, and I will not hesitate to use this company again.

Philip Canton,  GA Amazing tire at an amazing price I am back on my motorcycle-superstore today for one reason - To buy another Diablo rear tire. I noticed my tire was wearing thin. At first, I thought this tire didn't last long - That was until I realized that I had put that tire on almost 10K miles previously. The tire has treated me very well in the N. GA mountains - Very sticky in turns. Also, very good in rain. This is clearly the best tire for the price.

Johnson houston,  TX Excellent tire hands down on performance and price I commute back and forth to school about 90 miles round trip. Before I had Dunlops because they were on sale and before that I had Michelin pilot powers and the Diablos lasted longer than the previous brands, plus I got 7800 miles out the tire. I ride hard commuting and carve corners on the weekend so I would definitely give this tire a try, its my second set.

Chris Cooper Hildebran,  NC Pirelli I bought the pirelli diablo....not knowing if it would handle good or not. I based my decision on the amount of positive feedback it has already received. I had it put on finally about a week ago. I couldn’t believe the way it handled. Def better than the stock dunlop that was on my bike. I haven’t thrown it in any hard curves yet...but just riding for the joy going into turns really made a good impression on me. If you are having a hard decision and you’re stuck on wondering which tire to get....I would highly recommend the diablo.

Randy Daphne,  AL Pirelli - Supersport If you ride a Busa don’t buy this tire. Its a decent tire for the bargain shopper and might be a great tire for easy going street use on a lighter bike but on the heavy Busa it is very unstable, especially if you hit some rain, and it behaved very badly up at Deals Gap - slipping around something terrible. I actually stopped one day to make sure the rear had not deflated, the bike was behaving like the rear was nearly flat but it was fully inflated. After 1000 miles, I pulled them off and went with another brand.

Cam Alturas,  CA Switch and Forget! If any of you haven’t read my review of the Diablo front tire please do so, everything that I said there applies to the back tire as well. They are simply awesome! Wet, dry, hot, cold, new asphalt, old asphalt, it just doesn't seem to mater. These tires are the best I have ever run. I'll never buy another Dunlop again. Buy them and you'll see what I mean about ‘switch and forget’.

Eric Stevenson Ranch,  TX Awesome!!! From somebody who rides every day, these buns are a necessity for those who thrive on performance. I glued a pair of these onto my ’04 CBR 600RR and DISTORSIONE DI VELOCITA!!! These things carve the canyons like a freshly sharpened knife applied to the Thanksgiving turkey. These babies bring me back to the days of pulling high Gs while hunting those MiGs down during the Cold War. They’re also very smooth yet firm and accurate down the straights. Haven’t tried them much in the wet (unfortuna

Matt B Bakerton ,  CA Pirelli Diablo After picking up a nail with my rear Diablo Corsa on my Triumph Sprint RS I decided to save a few dollars and go with the regular Diablo as a replacement since I’ve been doing a lot more touring than knee dragging. The Diablo is really close to the Corsa for street riding in my book and since I’ve slowed down and ride 2 up half the time the Diablo is perfect and a good match to my like new Corsa front.... Well worth the $ and with free shipping you can’t go wrong!

I own a Ducati Monster 900, very torquey bike, and it wore out the middle of the tire pretty quick. Front tire shows very little wear, even after 5000+ miles.

Bill West Linn,  IL Pirelli Diablo Tires stick very well for street use. On a ZRX1200, the rear began to show flattening of the rear profile pretty quickly (approx. 1500 miles)...but it's a heavy bike with a lot of torque. Front shows virtually no wear and has never even hinted at washing out when playing on twisty roads. Tire is forgiving and provides very good feel and feedback. My next set will be the same tire and sizes but probably a Corsa in the front.
