Is anyone using the New Diablo's on their XB yet? It's time for me to get some new rubber and I was thinking about switching from the Diablo T's... |

I ride them also, for about 2500 miles now and I also love them. Front tire didnt even need weights the balance and rear just a 1/4 ounce. They seem to be wearing very good and the stick...dont get me started. I have actually tried to get a small slip on corners just to get an idea how far I can push the tires and havent had any luck yet. Once they are warmed they are like flies on ....poo. |

Got a good deal on them over my beloved Pilot Power ct's. I doubt I'll be going back, these Fukin things are unreal was able to push my fingerprint in them after a nice spirited ride, stick like nothing else and wear very nice too. |

I have hopefully 4k more miles left on my Syncs then I'm giving the Diablo Rosso the green light. It's probably too much to hope for that they're as good as the Syncs in the wet seeing how the tread doesn't extend all the way to the sidewall. So far the Syncs are the best wet road tire I've ever used but... it only rains hard here for 3 or 4 months out of the year, so I might have to learn how to slow it down a little in the rain. No biggie Or... Run syncs in the wet months and Rossos in the dry ones. Yeahh, I like that idea! |

I got em, I think they are much better than the Diablo's. As the others have posted, they do stick very well. |

I like mine. The bald shoulders just inspire so much confidence. |

"Or... Run syncs in the wet months and Rossos in the dry ones. Yeahh, I like that idea! : )" Sounds like a hellova plan!

I always get my tires from the motorcycle superstore as well. Prices are competitive and the handling fee isn't bad at 5 bucks a tire. No shipping charge for orders over $200 which definitely qualifies a set of tires and they're fast. I've seen the tires of my choice a little cheaper at other places but like with everything else, I don't mind paying a couple dollars more to support the stores that are fast, friendly and efficient The big incentive is that with them being in OR and me in Nor Cal, I always receive my tires within three working days. If I recall correctly, the last time I checked prices the Rosso was only $4 more than the Syncs per set. I was soooo close to ordering them but decided to wait until after winter. |

I rode in the rain quite a bit today and they continue to stick even on wet greasy roads. Good tires. |
