callison Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 Each dealer is has an allotment of TWO tires. The guys at my local shop grabbed them before the customers ever found out about it. Good luck!
Guest dkgross Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 sheeesh...There seems to be quite a few online retailers that have the 180/55/17 rear tires..anywhere from $125-$150 bucks, plus $20 for shipping... I'll surf around more tomorrow...
cgalardi Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 I bought my rear Diablo sat www.ronayers.com for $120.84 shipping included. Got it quite quickly, within a week i think. Mailed the coupon form and purchase receipt to Pirelli and just received the front Diablo today...i think 2-3 weeks to get it from Pirelli. total cost for the set was $140.84 ($20 shipping fee from Pirelli). I am quite pleased with the whole deal!!
Guest dkgross Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 coool!! I actually decided to go with the Metzeler Z6's instead
Paul Minnaert Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 With such a deal, the pirelli guys don't get much of a tyre, if you consider exchange rate. Or are these usa pirelli's ? We pay 190 euro for rear and 140 euro for a front diablo in 120/180 wide. And that's a discount price.
mikie Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I would've like to have gotten in on that deal, but I was desperate for new tires last week and was told by Pirelli that the front tire would take 4-6 weeks to arrive, so I bought Dunlop 220s. One of my local dealers has a rear to sell for $125, and I may just get it anyway so I'll have a set for next time.
antonio carroccio Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 coool!! I actually decided to go with the Metzeler Z6's instead Pirelli Diablo or Metzeler Z6 Roadtec= allmost the same thing. Both of them are made in the same factory with the same compound, with the same rubber, with the same machines, with the same workers, with the same money etc. The difference in the tyre is the profile. Maybe the handeling is different too. I don’t know, because I do not know nobody with those tyres on his bike (Z6). I’m riding on the Diablo, and I love them!!! Next I will try the Avon Azaro 45/46 st. ciao
al_roethlisberger Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Yeah, I keep hearing very good things on the Pirellis, especially on the longer wheelbase 02+ V11 Sports/LeMans. I think I may try them next. As my riding is pretty mild, and I'm convinced our 80-ish RWHP bikes don't eat tires like other "modern" hyper-bikes, I think they'll last fairly well. al
Orson Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I tried the Diablos last summer. Good grip but, I only got 4500 miles out of the rear tire. I switched to the sport touring Pirelli Scorpion rear in an effort to get more mileage to suit my touring needs. So far, I haven't noticed a difference in grip.
gthyni Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 I got an offer which I think is pretty good: M&P Direct Special Offers HUGE Savings on Pirelli Diablo Corsa Pairs: 120/70-17 & 180/55-17 RRP £265 NOW ONLY £179 Part Number 901042 120/70-17 & 190/55-17 RRP £265 NOW ONLY £184 Part Number 901043 I have no affiliation with M&P, just letting you know.
al_roethlisberger Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Heh, I got that SPAM too .... laughed at getting it today. Somehow I don't think ordering tires from the UK would be a good deal for me here in California It's too bad I don't need tires.... but I do want to check these out later for sure based on Mike Stewart's positive feedback al
Guest scott Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 This was a great deal! Got my coupon off the internet, ordered the rear tire from Dennis Kirk (they match anyone's lower price, and shipping is free), and sent my $20 dollars to cover shipping of the front tire. Now I've got new tires just waiting to be installed. BTW, I have over 9k miles on the original Bridgstone tires; I guess I need to ride more agressively
Mike Stewart Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Now I've got new tires just waiting to be installed. BTW, I have over 9k miles on the original Bridgstone tires; I guess I need to ride more agressively Well Jeff, with all those bikes 9000 miles on the Guzzi is quite a bit. So if I figure correctly, if you multiply 9000 by 4, you would have about 36,000 miles on just one bike! See you soon at Winter's, Mike
