The guy that just fitted diablo corsa 3's to my bike has just put these on his zx10r, he said to me that the front felt extremely well planted but has had the back squirm a bit, because of this he is now going back to corsa 3's which he thinks are better.  :D

But that is just the view of one person and i dont know how good a rider he actually is.  :D

I went out on mine today and really pushed hard for the first time, so far i am impressed with the corsa 3's. So you can guess what i would recommend.  8)

Managed to put some miles on the tarmac today did have some very big chicken strips to start off as i havent been able to run bike in much due to crappy weather. The tyres got tested tonight though there is plenty of feel and I knew where the tyre was and that it was planted well on the tarmac. Had bike in third and cranked right over doing 30 and it felt spot on. Not managed to rid the strips yet, but won't be long, still getting used to it. So very happy with tyres, they felt good in the wet as i think they have spent more time in the wet so far

m8 they are class ive used bt014's for along time and they were gr8 but the bt016's are superb they have ton's of grip,,they are bt020's in the then bt014's on innersides (if that makes sense) then they are the bt002's on outta edge i swear ive never come home after a good ride to find my rear tyre looking as if its just come off the track  :D
now obviously time will tell to see if we will get better mileage use out of them than th bt014's i've tried pilot powers but personally i prefer the bridgestones  :D

mine i believe are the OE fitment so probaly not quite as good as the standard ones. So if the standard ones are better i know whats being fitted when the time comes. The bikes run in now and in A mode so the tyres will get tested even more over weekend

I noticed a difference between mode C and A, but not between C and B, and B and A. It's in A mode now and imagine thats where it will stay.
