I could not trust it on very fast cornering, it always felt like the front was going to slide, it felt even worse on the 1000 and we took it off also before it was fully worn. The PR3 are miles ahead by comparsion in every way.
the Michelin 2CTs and Dunlop Sprotsmarts felt good, but do not come in the 110 size. I found the Roadsmarts good, but slower to warm up in comparsion the the PR3 and the M5s
The only bike I rode with Diablos was a Gisxer 600 and I stopped to check the tyres as I though they were down in pressure as it was very hard to turn in to the corners witout some serious counter steering. It was like riding a completly different bike when he fitted M5s to it. It was effortless dropping into the corners and felt like it was on rails.
A few post here are discussing different speed rating, I wonder about the insurance implications and possible MOT failures for fitting tyres below the recommend manufactures specifications.
Thanks for that Unfazed!
All the tyres I've found (and all the prices above) are for W or better speed ratings. What brand are the M5s - Metzelers?
Has no-one ridden with Z6s fitted?
