Got my new pirelli Diablo rossi 2 on today. I went up a size on the rear from a 130 to a 140 only to get into a better quality tire then the stock. Let me know what you guys think

Welcome Danny! The rosso tires are awesome, but don't go expecting to get 10k miles out of them.

@csmith12 thank you. yes I am aware of that.I know the pirelli sport demons are a much better option for longer life but I was looking for a grippy tire and reviews sold me on these. Also the sport demons were significantly more money. I got these on sale from Canada's motorcycle with free shipping for 270 Canadian. If I'm lucky IL get about 5000 to 7000 km on these depending on how agreesive I ride. Unfortunately I don't have as much time to ride anymore but I still do about 3000km a season I must say these tires have been on the bike for less then an hour and only rode it for 15km and it's a huge difference and the tires still need to be scrubbed in way better tire then the stock irc roadwinners. Overall I'm happy with them and I can't wait to see what they are like once broken in.

Welcome,

Looks good and with the mileage you accumulate annually, sounds like a good fit.

Run Pirelli bias tire sets on two bikes and really like them!
