Has anyone here used both the Diablo Rosso II's and Michelin Pilot Streets? I'm debating whether to try the Pilot Streets.

I have put 5 miles on my 250. I just ordered the streets. I'm looking forward to the dragon next week

What Alex suggested, 32/36. I've got about 1,500-2,000 miles on the tires now, the tires feel just fine. Did take them out for some aggressive emergency braking, naturally as one would suspect they didn't quite have as much grip as the BT003RS's but they did just fine. So far I have yet to really test their cornering feel.

******WARNING TO AUSTRALIANS******
Went to buy some street pilots this week in Ozzie Land. Guess what They don't meet Australian Standards. So there is a few container loads of Michelin tyres ready for scrap. |

As if it weren't obvious already, AMT has these cheaper than Revzilla. Go to www.AmericanMotoTire.com for info. They have 140 size for the price of Revzilla 130. Kinda bummed they don't offer a 120 front.

I am curious what the information was. I imagine there was a legal threat by the manufacturer or something due to the information being unconfirmed and potentially damaging to their reputation.

Michelin street radials and bias ply will be available in two to three weeks to the Australian market
You can pre order through your local motorcycle shop It will replace the Pilot Activ range in Australia. Not sure about other countries |

The Pilot Street is only available in 130 & 140 wide:

I think those are the Pilot Road 2. It's pretty clear that Michelin used a similar tread design for the Pilot Streets, but it would be interesting to learn more about the differences in compound and construction. The Road 2 is spec'd for much heavier bikes than our ninjette.

I have a rear Street and a front Rossi 2 in my bedroom. I'll be mounting them in the spring. I know some may say don't mix and match. But we'll see how it goes. I'll update in the summer.

I recently got a Pilot Radial Street rear. Have a PR4 front with it. Figured I didn't really need DRIIs when I mostly just commute. My DRII rear was really square and I could feel it in the turns.

That was the commuting setup that seemed the most interesting. The PR3/4 are very popular but since they do not make a PR3/4 in a small bike friendly rear (I think just a 150/70) the PR4/PS seems like a good combo. Let us know how it goes in a couple thousand miles

Rojo just changed his rear Pilot Street out at 16k miles. Unreal mileage on these things!

That's crazy mileage. How long until it was square? I mean I typically ditch tires before they are dead just because I can't stand the profile anymore. Although admittedly the BT16 on their now is damn near cords.

I am wondering how "dangerous" can be riding with stock (IRC) front tire and michelin pilost street radial rear. I won't take it to race track, also no knee draging or wet weather rides.
I want to be cheap so I don't want to change front tire just yet (through I probably will soon). So: Can my bike survive cornering (no knee) with front IRC and rear Michelin PSR. Also what would you suggest, Michelin Pilot street radial or michelin pilot street bias-ply (both avaible in my country) |

What do you weigh and do you carry and luggage on the bike? I literally squared the stock IRC in like 7K miles and a BT16 in like 4K

Roughly 200lb and no luggage, and generally stay off the freeway preffering to take back roads.

Thanks, impressive mileage. I tend to stay off the superslab too but even the back roads kill the center tire on my commute.
