New 240 Tire

Reply Contact

Has anyone installed the NEW PIRELLI DIABLO 240/40ZR-18 on their 18 x 8.5 wide wheel ?
The price is definitely right on Ebay but don't know how long it will last.

This is a Z~rated (149+) tire with zero tire growth!

Alan, This is a sport compound tire. Alot softer than ME880 Metzler.
Pirelli owns Metzler so the tires have alot in common. Unfotunately you must shorten the life of to tire to get more grip.

Oh well [

] ... the price is certainly tempting!

Earlier this year i picked up my Metzler 240 tire for $195.95 delivered and shared the info:http://www.rswarrior.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45730
Unfortunately they no longer carry Metzler [

]

The only advantage to living in snow country is that i only had to change my rear tire once a season. Out here in CA i'll go through 3 tires a year [

] ... poor Alan...

Chris...you need those Z-rated 149+ mph tires now that you've straightened out your pinging syndrome, thanks to Oliver [^]

You can now regain your throne as leader of the pack unless of course someone hits the Nitrous button [

Ray... thanks for the thread to your previous post and thorough research! Nice [^]

Funny thing is, i didn't even search the site [V]

I think Chris & i will try the tire and see how it performs. Me with my nickels worth of clearance on the swingarm and 357WARRIOR @ 149+ mph on the curves leading the pact [
