[kissmyrsvr]

Just got some diablo corsas, any comments on pressures for fast road, not track?

For more touring rides, 36F and 38 rear works well for me. For fast scratching 34F, 36R. And for track 32F & 31R works extremely well. Remember these are road tyres and the carcas isn't as stiff as a track oriented tyre like the SC series from Pirelli, where you would run them slightly softer again, ( say 30/31F & 29/30R).

My front Corsa lasted almost 7k kms which is extremely good, the Corsa rear lasted 2.5k kms. This included 2 track days on the rear and 4 on the front. I don't push the front as much as some people. I've been a twin rider for some 20 odd years, and a twin is all about being smooth and corner speed, using the torque of a twin to pull you though the corner. I actaully went from a Corsa rear back toa std Diablo, which with the Corsa front is an excellent combination. The std Diablo rear lasted about 3500kms max.

They are an excellent tyre wet or dry.

Hope this helps.

PS since then I have gone to the new Michelin Pilot Powers (bargain price I got), and again these tyres are excellent for either road or the occassional track day.

My Corsa front works great at 33 psi with a standard Diablo rear at 37 psi.

DC's like to run cold. 32f - 36r or more if it's really hot out.
Do NOT run them at 30psi or lower, you will destroy them.

Here is a review by some control riders in NESBA:

Yep. 34 front and 36 rear for the street or track. I tried it on the track and street and those pressures worked great.

I just put a set of DC's on my bike last week for a track day over the weekend that did not happen. Glad I ran across this thread because I had front and rear both at 30psi like I run the SC's. And dropping the front, nice tip

Yep - same here.... seems strange to run such pressure on the track, but they really do melt away & get really greasy if you run 'normal' track pressures. I have 2 more sets of regular Diablos to run through before switching over to the Corsa's.

33F 36R. There is a great thread on www.nesba.com about the recommended pressures. This is what I run on the track and they are outstanding tires!!!!! If you run 30 on the rear on the track you will destroy the tires.
