2018 959: Street Tires

majprussell · Apr 17, 2020

Hello,

At the risk of saying I am not always using a Superbike for the track (and full leathers) and more for daily riding + long street rides.

What kind of tires:
1. Medium to longer life span than the stock Diablos.
2. Better wet traction, I am in the North East so hot summers but need excellent high performance rain traction.
3. Street Performance.
4. Look Good.

Thoughts?

I've had some good success with the Diablo Rosso III's.

I’ve heard great things about Rosso II for your type of riding.

So, Diablo II or IIIs--Good for wet weather?

I ride in all conditions except snow (I use Gerbing Gear to extend my riding to low 40 degrees).

I don’t think either is “good” for wet weather.

I just looked up the Angels--ST and GT--I think these are what I am looking for.

Conti Road Attack 3 is a great all round tire. Excellent grip, neutral turn in, great feel. Or you might try the Bridgstone S22's. Haven't ridden them myself but heard all good things. Angel Gt's aren't bad at all - I've had 4-5 sets of them. Not sure about the new version however...

I liked the Angels I had on my Monster but note, they don’t appear to make either Angel in the stock 180/60 rear tire size.

Rosso III hands down, been caught in the rain several times here in south Florida. The SuperCorsa and Rosso II do not last me longer than 2k miles, Rosso III well over 4000 mi

Another Fantastic tire is the Metzler M7RR, and the new one to come out the M9RR. Fantastic tire all around amazing in the wet. Just don't look as good as the Rosso III, but still leagues better than michelins.

Sounds good. I like the Rosso III looks for sure...but will look at the Metzlers...
