                                                                             is how they manage to combine real sporty handling characteristics
                                                                             with an incredible, inherent stability. Usually you end up sacrifi cing
                                                                             one for the other, but that’s not the case with these tyres – it seems
                                                                             like you can have it all. The grip is really something – try as I might
                                                                             I couldn’t get the rear to kick out. Even driving out of corners hard
                                                                             there’s great feel from the rear and it provides a great connection
                                                                             between the rear wheel and your throttle hand so you know
                                                                             precisely how much you can give. Handling wise these tyres feel
                                                                             very sporty and light steering, requiring very little effort to get them
                                                                             turning. Despite me riding them hard down some of the bumpiest
                                                                             sections of our test route I just couldn’t get them to unsettle. Brilliant
                                                                             in fast corners and slow corners alike, they’re just really great at
                                                                             giving confi dence in all speed areas and all road conditions. These

                                                                             what they’d be like on track too. We reckon the Pirelli Diablo Rosso
