Just a warning. Check if there is still wax in your tyres despite you have ride it previously!
Few days ago had I installed a new 170/60 Diablo Rosso tyre, same model as the front, I have bought several Diablos before too. Today was the first day I could have fun with the bike, it is a warm day here in Spain too.
But unlike the previous tyres this one had a layer of solid wax that did not go with heat, so the chicken strips kept slippery no matter I had riden it for 100km. I was lucky it wasn't an emergency maneuver when it slipped, just me fooling around trying to remove the chicken strips.
I have removed a lot of wax with a knife. I have also checked the front tyre chicken strips and there was no wax, it went by itself.
