sweeeeet[8D]

I might just have to jump on that. I'm surprised there's not a catch.[:M75]

 

WHATTTT!!! really wow. thats awsome.
That means you could get a SET of diablos for around $120 thats awsome

I have never used diablos though. Can anyone comment on how they are? and as compared to the bridgstone BT012SS because that is what I was going to get.

There is. But it's something some people can live with. As soon as you put in your info (which has to be correct in order to receive the tire, you will receive countless spam mail and numerous pieces of crap in your real mailbox. Of course, there are solutions for these situations (get a yahoo/hotmail account) and live with the spam and throw away the countless pieces of junk mail.

Other than that, it's a really good deal, if your riding suits the standard Diablo.

Tommy: The BT012ss and the standard diablo are two totally different tires. The Bridgestones offer superior grip compared to the standard Diablo, but won't last as long, aren't as good in wet weather, etc (more of a canyon carving, race oriented tire).

 

so the standard diablo is not a very agressive tire?
I'm surprised that you don't have to sign up for the "Tire a month club" where you agree to buy 12 more tires at a low club rate within the next year.

Yeah, I was expecting a requirement something like that as well.

Standard Diablos equivalent in Bridgestone range would be BT012 and older BT010. It is no race tire but it can be ridden with quite reasonable pace around a race track too.

IMHO it is a very good tyre for street/sport riding and occasional track days too.

 

Yeah, it took me about two seconds to make up my mind. I guess I will be trying some Diablos in the near future.

 

i need a front and rear tire... I'm jumping on this 01/15/04!

 

I ran the BT012ss's on my Daytona and am now on a set of the Diablos. The 012's are a very slow steering tire and the Diablos will quicken up the front end quite a bit. As stated, I think the 012's have more ultimate grip and a little better feedback but the Diablo's not far off. I've done trackdays on both and both held up well at my admittedly pre-historic pace. The 012's tend to get really funky feeling at the end of their lifespan, though. Your mind tells you you don't quite trust 'em for some reason. That's when you shit-can'em.
The Diablos seem to wearing very well and were very good in a downpour track/swamp day at Loudon.

Bah! valid in US only... GRRRR!

 

lmao!

Yep![]

 

poor kanuks I'm going to jump on this too I think...I've been looking for some new tires...

I was thinking about getting the corsa's but I think the diablos might be perfect for the type of riding I do! Sweeet!

Why are you bumping something that was last replied on less than two hours before you?

Gary... Always the one to bring up the good points.

 

Catch or not. I may have to jump on this too. I've got a friend that needs new tires and I think he's gonna get on this deal wagon as well before it passes through.

 

any ideas how long this deal will be good for?

 

has anyone been able to print the coupon? I get a different offer, $100.00 towards a track day if I buy both front & back, or something like that.

 

This isn't one of those "too good to be true" kind of deals, is it?[:M75]

I've had a set of Diablos for about 7000 km now and they still feel very good and the profile is still the way it should be (thanks to trackdays and mostly riding twisties).

As I stated before, they're also a pretty good trackday tire if you don't try to hang on with guys wearing stickier rubber. They also generate knee down levels of grip in street riding, got my knee down couple of times on my favourite twisties last autumn even when the air temp was something like 10 degrees Celsius. Same time my riding buddy struggled to get his Rennsports warm enough to work properly.

I've got a one single _unintentional_ high speed slide from the rear when I got *ahem* a bit carried away when nailing the throttle in the corner exit at fastest right hander of our local track. The rear tire took the slide much better than my nerves, I managed to keep the throttle pinned (probably more due to luck than skill [8D]) and the rear came back nicely and smoothly. The lack of rear grip was probably because cold weather (+10 C). No scares whatsoever with the front so far.

 

Here's a little review of Diablos @ motorcycledaily:
http://www.motorcycledaily.com/10october03_pirelli_diablo.htm

The writers experiences are very similar to my experiences with the tires. My front tyre has some cupping after 7000 km, probably due to the track abuse but it doesn't vibrate/shake yet so all is well so far.

I always wanted to do one. Hehe. Sorry[V]

 

IIRC, they will e-mail all of the people who signed up sometime after Jan. 12 with the rest of the details. Make sure you save the e-mail you got when you signed up with your password and login name on it.
