I've had a Pirelli Diablo as my rear boot for 3000 km now and am not impressed! Bold statement? I'll temper it by saying I thought they were damn good for the first 1500 km.
I doubt I'll get more than 6000km out of it in total and since my last topic on these tyres (Tyre too hot?) they have not stopped slipping. About every third or fourth take off I find myslef fish tailing for 10 m up the road. Corners are also seeing some fish action. Confidence is at zero on these bad boys.
My previous tyre was a Bridgestone 012 Battlax. To compare them the 012 had more grip and lasted me 8000 km (including a track day). <i></i>
