My new Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres

After wearing out 2 sets of well-loved Avon Distanzia, I decided to change to a more sporty set of tyres. I finally fitted the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II. I will be able to leave feedback after many miles that I will get to have a good taste of them.

I too just fitted Dunlop Mutants to my Beta Motard 4.0. they are the most expensive tyres I have ever had but IMO the best I have had. Have you any idea what millage to hope for. Thanks Steve.

I don't think you will be disappointed with the Mutants, as usual it depends on what you are used to, the tyres I took off my Beta Motard were 10 years old and squared off. I thought there was something wrong with the bike but with the Mutants fitted it just feels really good, I can't keep off it. Steve.
