Will take a lot to get me off the Michelin power RS. Really great tyre. Front end feels WAY better than the DCR or SC SP. Interested to see what these will be like
I have been running these on my 998. I wonder how they compare? http://moto.michelin.com/DC/en/tyres/products/power-cup-evo.html
Well, it truly is different strokes for different folks. Front end feel is exactly why I love Pirelli. Hate Dunlop and Bridgestone as I’m very much about the front end and only get 1 front for every rear the way I ride. Had a decent set of Michelins on lately though and currently running Maxxis (also very good - able to achieve max lean straight away and great feel).
I was going through fronts as quick as rears with Pirelli Front tyre wears very strangely and quickly. They might have addressed these issues with the new tyre but the supercorsa SP wore the same as the DRC so it’s not just one tyre which did it
Looks like the 200/55 is the new 180/60 for 6" rims Surprised that some of you are getting one front to one rear, I ride the front tyre heavily yet my rears look like the upper half of an egg's profile yet the fronts still have plenty of life left.
I could stretch my fronts further, but I certainly wouldn’t get enough out of it to last until the next rear.
The tyre information for the Rosso III refers to good water clearance. The tyre information for the Diablo Rosso II emphasises it’s dry grip properties. IMO the DRII is a halfway house between the Supercorse and the Rosso III so good grip with more life than the SC but not as well mannered for most of the year round riding as the Rosso III will be.

They’re fitted as standard on me Scrambler , can’t say for wet weather but in the dry they’re super grippy, I really like em
