Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV rated 83% while driving a Honda PCX
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Front only review on a PCX 125. Previously I was a bit disappointed on using DR2 as they're easily cupped in 3 months. Switching to DR4 gave much better responses. Grip on dry and wet roads are definitely better, warms up quickly, very confident to lean with. After two years and 10K miles it didn't show any signs of cupping at all, unlike the previous DR2 I've use. Great to buy again next time.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV rated 97% while driving a Aprilia Tuono 1100RR
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Front-only review. I switched from DR3 front to DRIV four on the front, DR3 on the rear still had life left. They go well together, will replace the rear next month. I thought the DR3 was the finest tire I had ever ridden in my 3 decades of riding, and the 4 is noticeably better! sticks like glue, even when brand new. Warms up quick. Solid in rain, better than my 3. Extremely predictable as I push my lean angle limit -- on this tire, farther than I've done in my career. And it's all due to the tire 'wanting more lean' all the time! very predictable and super grippy, smooth progression-- seems to suit the Tuono's handling needs really well. I've had issues on Michelins and especially Metzelers, where the front will tell you when to stop your lean -- the 4 just keeps saying "give me more!" It almost seems to grip better, the farther over I go. Remarkable.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rated 81% while driving a Suzuki DRZ400SM
Driving on mostly town for 12000 average miles
I'm not gonna review yall the cornering grip and such. Theres plenty here BUT what's not avail is the mileage of the tire on a smaller bike.im weighing at 95kg and So tyyre actually lasted way more than 18000km on a DRZ400SM. My current odometer on was changed 1 month into owning this bike, so i'd say i would have probably reached 20,000km on this tire. Or an average of about 1year 2 month for me. It actually would have been usable for a little bit longer, but tire was wornout unevenly probably due to accelerating too much while leaning a little to the right, and some slidings when im feeling rowdy. Also had to ride a few KM slowly on flat tire to find tube and that probably would have contributed to the uneven surface. This is the rear. The front still have loads of life in them and will probably last me a year more. Changed my rear to Rosso III at 18,746km and looking forward to reviewing it at the end of its life!

Bridgestone Battlax BT 016 rated 80% while driving a
Driving on for 0 miles
CBR 600F4, from new came with Bridgestone tires so iv'e stuck with them, I'm not the fastest rider but when Iv'e needed them to do there job Iv'e never been let down. Even when I have had to go faster round a long right ( because of drifting to far over) hand bend the bike and tyers worked in pure harmony. I always make sure I get the same tire evening knowing that there may be better tires on the market now.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV rated 87% while driving a BMW S1000XR 2018
Driving on mostly motorways for 800 spirited miles
I ride 4 motorcycles that use 120/70's and 190/55's. I spend most of my time on very curvy and hilly roads and ride them aggressively. When I change out my tires my chicken strips are into the "Diablo" embossing at 40 psi F /40 psi R. I had Rosso Corsa II's on all 4 bikes and have now started using Rosso IV's. In the dry with the same tire pressures the Rosso IV's have exhibited the same characteristics as my Corsa II's. I have gone to my mental lean limit (as my Corsa II's) without any change in feel or confidence. In the wet, my Rosso IV's have behaved noticably better. However this may be more of a confidence issue rather than a performance issue because I know the sipes (water courses) go much wider on these tires. I did occassionally slip on my Corsa II's but haven't yet on my Rosso IV's. There was a huge performance difference when I changed from Rosso II's to Rosso Corsa's. There was a difference (better) when I went from Rosso Corsa's to Rosso Corsa II's. I have not felt any performance difference, other than riding in the wet, going from the Rosso Corsa II's to the Rosso IV's. I am anxious to see if there will be any difference in the mileage I was getting before on my Rosso Corsa II's.

Bridgestone Battlax BT 016 rated NAN% while driving a Kawasaki Z900r
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
I ride a kawasaki z900r and when I bought the bike it come with Dunlop Pro's on as standard and I gates them, a couple of my pals said try the bt016 tires and I did, am on my 3rd pair now, my bike gets its throat ringed every time I go out and I throw it round corners and these tires have never let me down. They gave been discontinued now but you can still get them, I will be trying a new tire next time but have never had any issues with the bt016 but I don't ride in the wet so can't honestly comment in that area.

Continental ContiSportAttack 2 rated 91% while driving a Kawasaki ZX6R
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 miles
Once I've put these tires on my Ninja ZX6R I canceled the choise of any other tire in the market. If you race/ride a Superport 600 I highly recommend you try them at least once. When you mount the bike with a set of these on, your smile under the helmet will make you come to my words

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Changed from Bridgestone in the kawasaki, to Pirelli Diablo Rosso iii in a Ducati Supersport. Happy with the change.The tire is better in precision and lean angle. Now after 2 sets of PDRIII, I tried PDRIV. Feedback, Warming Time and lean are even better. whats not better...Price(+20%)and Wear. Buy again for sure

Pirelli Diablo Rosso III rated 86% while driving a Ducati 959 panigale
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 spirited miles
I ride a Ducati 959 panigale. It’s used mainly for quick A and B road riding. These tires do all I need of them, they are stable under heavy braking and give good feedback... The grip is excellent at all angles of lean and very predictable. They are also confidence inspiring in wet conditions. I got 4,000 miles out of the rear. Definitely replacing with more of the same. Good tires.
