Just threw on PP's on the Buell. Set them at 36/36 for now, we'll see how it feels after a real ride.
Took it out down the road a couple miles. Just weaving back and forth in my lane at speed I can tell the difference between Corsa III's and the PP's. PP's have a much faster turn in, not the linear constant change like the corsa's. Also, from just doing that, I almost got the rear tire edge to edge. Tire profiles make a big difference as to how they wear i guess. |

Just ran the Diablo and Rosso at the track. Very nice at 30 front, 32 rear (hot). From the wear and balling, looks like they were at perfect temp and pressure. No slip at all, even in the mist we got. I need to work on a lot of things, but these tires are great. I love the linear turn in.

The real test will be how long they last commuting.

no... I have the Diablo Strada's... the sport touring ones... and after 1500 miles of freeway... and 500 twistys... they're just very slightly flat spotted...
I'm very pleased with them so far... |

Only about 500 miles total on them- with 100 or so being track. Not enough to see any flat spot.

Holy crap... I have to say, just put a new set of BT003R's on the bike for the trackday yesterday. Medium Front - Hard Rear. And... WOW!!! They are fantastic.
