- Roadracing World's Sam Fleming and Melissa Berkoff attended the Pirelli world launch of their new street/track hypersport motorcycle tire. The event included riding on both the mountain roads of Tuscany and the famous curves of Mugello. The review article is in the May 2022 edition of Roadracing World magazine.
Here is a behind the scenes look at the event, the riding, the tires and Mugello.

Thanks for your previous link. Very interesting. Still confused, this tire is not a Diablo Rosso Corsa IV, it is Diablo Rosso IV Corsa, which is an entirely different thing?
The first one does not exist.......? This is a Diablo Rosso IV with an additional Corsa name tag.
So is the sc3 compound on these really the same as the sc3 slick? It felt like the slicks run a lot cooler whereas the street tire seems run hot.
Hey! Its what they told us at the launch.
Putting some of these on my bike this coming week. Wish me luck. Going to try 30psi. Any feedback on psi and time to heat helps.
What bike? How much do you weigh? Beginner, intermediate or expert?
Street or Track?
For a solo rider (ie, no passenger) on the track I'd be aiming for 40 front and 26 rear... when the tires are HOT. Like, right off the track. That is going to be about 22 rear and 36 front cold. Tire cool off in less that thirty seconds so you kinda got to get right on it, or just go with the cold pressures and leave it alone. On the street, no passenger, I'd go with 38 front and 25 rear because you still want similar hot pressures but they are not going to get as hot on the street. If you are riding in cold temps (like, sub 50) on the street be a little gentle on your entrances as you can watch Sam tuck the front in the video on the cold pavement.
36 psi def high. I run 32,32 front rear on street. Track 28 for front and rear. Good stuff! Def wondering why they did 36 psi. Hmmmmm!
After reading everything I could find AFTER posting that comment, YOUR numbers are what seem to be correct. Exactly those numbers for my weight, my bike, temperature range here in Nova Scotia, Canada, what will be my average speed, aggressive cornering or not, etc. I punched in all the data I could think of including top speeds, etc., and it comes back as MAX 32 front and back and 28 front and back if I'm in "crazy" mode where I'm doing some high speed for more than a few minutes. One thing is said was to lower the back tire for hard street steady riding, so the numbers might end up 32, 30 when the tires get put on tomorrow.
The 36 psi is what the bike says, but tires from 24 years ago are not the same as today..haha. What makes me feel stupid is, I have been using SP V2's on my bike every season for 5 seasons and just put them to 36 and left them. I could have have so much more traction if I had known to educate myself on how much of a difference just a few pounds make, but I have to say, I drive hard and not ONCE in those 5 years have I ever had my SuperCorsa's break free when hot, they made me feel like I would never lose traction. Here in Nova Scotia, Canada, those tires cost $603.00 taxes included ...$90.00 to have them installed and balanced...a year.
I just spent over an HOUR just trying to find out what basic pressure I should set my Diablo Rosso IV Corsa's for the STREET, not a RACE TRACK. I'm not on a racetrack, I'm on the damn street. There is not a page, a video, a .pdf download to tell me what to do ... this is damn frustrating.
I have a very old bike, so I can't go by what the bike says. I have a 1999 Suzuki GSXR-750 that says set the pressure's to 36 front and back, but those pressures are looking like they are too high for modern tires.
I'm 180 lbs, it's summer here 70 to 80 degrees here, I drive fast and love to lean the bike until there are no chicken strips. Yesterday I drove for 3 hours straight, on back roads at almost double the speed limit for half the time, max speed was 230kph, and all this at 36 psi on my SuperCorsa's ... but I really want to know where to find a pressure chart for Perilli tires for the STREET .... grrrrrrr.
Well... to echo every tire guy out there, "It depends" The trick is to have the right temperature in the tire. The temperature is dictated by the weather, the road, the sun, the rider and, finally, the tire pressure. And on the street the pressure rise from cold to hot is going to be less than on a track. For the street, depending on how much you weigh, on that bike, try 36 front, 32 rear cold.
@@armyofdarknessmotorcyclesb2883 I didn't give up after I posted that comment. I researched, found some numbers that seem proper and also, learned how to go through the process of finding what I like. Setting the bike up with say for instance, your numbers, but then dropping the pressure's 2 psi in each tire and then driving the same road, same speed, same everything and then making a mental note of the feel, then dropping another 2 psi and doing it again until I find what feels good to me, is there now chatter in the front end, is the tire "digging in" too much on slow turns, etc. One thing made sense, hard tires last longer but offer less grip, soft tires will feel like you're glued to the road, but you will eat those tires up much faster through wear. So I will find my sweet spot between traction and my wallet.

Hey, we're not quite sure what the emoji means but...thanks?
