“... Diablo Rosso Corsa: The thing that struck me about
these tyres is how they manage to combine real sporty
handling characteristics with an incredible, inherent
stability. Usually you end up sacrifi cing one for the other,
but that’s not the case with these tyres – it seems like you
can have it all. The grip is really something – try as I might I
couldn’t get the rear to kick out. Even driving out of corners
hard there’s great feel from the rear and it provides a great
connection between the rear wheel and your throttle hand
so you know precisely how much you can give. Handling
wise these tyres feel very sporty and light steering,
requiring very little effort to get them turning. Despite me
riding them hard down some of the bumpiest sections of
our test route I just couldn’t get them to unsettle…”

great levels of feel and grip. Everything you need from a
road tyre...”
