How do the corsas stack up against the Battleaxes and Pilots?

Stickier than both apparently. I know they are bloody soft. I ran over some small gravell in the driveway and it just stuck in the rubber.

Soft is good.

A few roundabouts should see an end to those strips....

Would be interested to see a report.

I fitted diablo strada. Quite hard and slippery at times, but I'm looking at 17,000k out of it :D. With my previous tyre (dulop gpr100) I eliminated the strip right away.. but with diablo I seem to keep about 1cm of them. Not good for posing and intimidate other bikers :?

My mission for the weekend is to remove those strips. I'll let you know how it goes. My initial feeling is that it be hard to get them off a blanket.

Diablo corsas are heaps better than pilot powers in my opinion, they are softer and move around a bit but thats what i like.

I got 8000kms out of a set on my old R1, wore them out till the belts showed through. Good for slides out of roundabouts. :twisted:
