Author Message   Hardcorps Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 - 02:35 pm:        I am trying to replace my rear tire, and was considering ordering one on line. There is a $30 difference between OEM replacement and Standard replacement for the Pirelli Diablos. Can any one tell me the difference. The tires appear to be the exact same?   Interex2050 Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 - 02:37 pm:        I am not completely sure what the case is with the Diablos, but if I recall correctly the OEM Dunlops were lighter.   Spike Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 - 03:01 pm:        OEM Dunlop D207s on XBs were significantly lighter than regular D207s, but I haven't heard of any such thing with the Pirellis. Is the OEM Diablo actually a different part, or is it just coming from a different vendor?   Ducxl Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 - 03:40 pm:        D207 tires are obsoleted by D208.All Dunlops are lousy anyway.Get the Pirellis'.   Barker Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 - 05:08 pm:        XB's use a "Diablo T" Cant seem to find that anywhere else but buell. What the "T" for??   Austinuu Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 - 05:41 pm:        The Diablo "T" is 1lb lighter than the standard no letter Diablo. For some reason I thought the "T" stood for Triumph OEM tire but I can't find the literature where I read that. The tires that cyclegear had on sale were the "T" style as well. Austin
