BarryG Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Need a new front tire on my SV1000. Came with Dunlop Qualifiers F/R. Put a rear Diablo Strada on about 1500 miles ago. Front is done. Shop owner says a front Pilot Power is no problem with Diablo Strada rear...he's out of Pirellis right now. What do you think? Is this combo ok or should I grab a Pirelli Diablo from Cycle gear first and bring it over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helvet Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It could be OK, but I would not advice this.... The Michelin is a tyre with a very light carcass, the Pirelli isn't. It might be OK, but it could very well be a disaster...... I would never sell this to my customers, he better wait..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
