So I'm running near E.O.L. for my Diablo Strada's, around 9k miles on them. Fantastic tires. They wore very well, no squaring off, and handled superb. I'm looking at Diablo Corsa III, possibly Diablo Rosso, or maybe Bt16's. Haven't done alot of shopping yet. I have a R6 fender that I need to put on, which requires me getting a R6 Front Tire. I did all the comparrisons and checked the manuals it should be fine.
FRONT
FZ6 Rim: 17 M/C x MT 3.5
R6 Rim: 17 M/C x MT 3.5
FZ6 Profile: 120/70ZR17
R6 Profile: 120/60ZR17
REAR
FZ6 Rim: 17M/C x MT 5.5
R6 Rim: 17M/C x MT 5.5
FZ6 Profile: 180/55ZR17
R6 Profile: 180/55ZR17
So, the only difference is the R6 front tire is a little shorter than the fz6. And that's the heart of the question, what's that going to do to handling? Did a bit of research and couldn't come up with an answer to that.
