    there a good set of tyres, not sure which I prefer out of the BTO14' and the Pirelli Diablo Corsa', but they do come at a premium.

    I have ran with Diablo Corsa for several years, decide to go back to Battleaxe just for a change.

    PR Diablo Corsa's does tend to suggest they're also a very good tyre.. Horses for courses I guess 8-)

    I have considered the Michelin Pilot powers, especially the new dual compound version, any knowledge on these, as it won't be long before I will be getting some new tyres again.

    Will you listen to the 2speed gods there...lol
    The Diablo corsa is the thack day version of the Diablo....
    Bridgestone do the same with the BT014 its called the BT014ss....
    THey are both very good tyres, but you should see more progressive feel and grip from the Corsa...and it should maitain its performance longer as it will diserpate the heat more efficantly...there tech bit over...lol

    Oh Bike Treads for tyres....as you can read a few people swear by us, and to be fair i thnk we have the best reputation around as far as tyres go...

    Apart from the Tw*T who brought in two loose spoke wheels off a Honda 750 Road Trallie jobbie...and insisted they put the tyres on the wrong way... always get one plonker, Opps sorry customer! ;D

    BikeTreads BTW 8-)
