I think as long as you feel good about the tire you choose you will ride good in that tire! | Yup confidence in a good tire makes all the difference!

Just need this snow to go away lol | U know this already, but be careful with the new tires, they suggest 100miles easy riding to break'em in, slippery a hell when they are new (don't ask how I know lol)

Its all good man. I actually just bought a set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa's through sportbike track gear. All i have to say is they better stick like shit to a blanket.

i was pretty set on getting myself some new 2 CT's here within the next week or so. But the Pirellis interested me as well.
any info to sway my opionion would be great! i can pick each set up for $250 per set so either way im getting a deal
thanks guys and sorry for ANOTHER tire thread!
I will be doing regular commuting back and forth to work and your typical weekend HARD weekend rides and a few track days this season. | Do you do track day's? Do you take at least your rear tire to the edge often. If not most hyper sport trackday tires need heat to work. Tires like the Pirrelli angle, Birdge bt 023, Avon storm or Mich road 3 will give you better grip at street speeds and temps.
