Switched to these from a Diable Rosso Corsa. Fast street riding has no noticeable difference with grip and feel. The Rosso III is also easier to lean in on corners compared to the Corsas, but that is to be expected because the Corsa is also meant for track use.
Just got the Perelli Diablo 3 put on today on my 2020 R3 thank you revzilla for the fast delivery loving the grip already compared to The Dunlops 300 GP that was on there from factory🤩
I have these on my '96 Kawasaki ZX7R. 120/70 front, 190/50 rear. I absolutely love them. Coming from using the Dunlop Sportmax and Bridgestone Batllax in the past, these tires completely changed the character of the bike. In a good way. Awesome grip, stability, handling and confidence. Recommend.
I have to say that after owning two sets of Rosso 3's (Got about 5k miles out of the rear on the first), I'll probably never go back to anything else for normal use. I typically commute to work, ride to meets, and on the weekends, I hit the canyons. These are the best all around tires that I've found for that. I honestly feel like they grip amazingly well without even being warmed up. I wouldn't expect these to be the best tire for the track, but they definitely feel like they could perform extremely well at the track given their versatility. If you can't afford 2 separate sets of tires (Street and track), but want to do both, these are probably the best bang for the buck.
So I go thru tires like socks I ride a s1000rr and it eats up tires way more than my R1 ever does so far pilot power 5s have lasted the longest power rs Q3s Angel st Angel gt Pilot power 5s All great tires and hook up once warm but the power 5s held the best i know you can’t get best of both longevity, stickiness would like a better comparison with the rosso 3s
amazing grip out of these tires. originallg from the battlax and then riding the rosso 2 to the grow. the rosso 3 are beyond amazing... great grip and makes the motorcycle feel more stable. thanks revzilla!
@@orionmobile6545 I really enjoyed my S22’s and I’m currently really enjoying the set of R4’s on my bike. But S22’s take the W if you can keep them warm. The 3 compound rear is just amazing. You can’t make a wrong choice though. They’re both amazing.

@@Supernova12034 awesome rubber, Track ready and street legal. Expensive in Australia about $350 for a rear 190 55. However, it's the only thing connecting me to the road so I don't compromise on safety.
@@Supernova12034 on the SDR 1290 no tyre lasts long, Especially if you ride like a hooligan, Only got 3000ks out of my last rear tyre. If you ride like you value your life, they'll last alot longer.
That's the exact info I was looking for on the rear. I've ran the Angel ST for a long time on my last two bikes, but now have a Ducati 1198 and I think I want something with more grip for the power it puts down. I didnt want to spend a ton of money on a tire that's only gonna last maybe 2,000 miles. So knowing you got 6,000 miles on an H2 pretty much seals the deal on these.
@@breto88 A good mix of both, although this most recent set has been more highway. I still think they are an amazing tire. Once this second set is gone, I'll definitely be purchasing another set. Confidence at 💯
Rosso 3 is the best tire that will not break the bank imho i do 2x trackdays per month and i mostly ride mountain routes they are shitload of fun to use and will definitely stick like a glue without warming up P.s : I ride Yamaha Mt-10 using this bad boy
I have these tyres on my z750r. damm they are great those tyres. with cold weather i had max grip on corners. i drove not that much on the rosso 3 because i got deployed.
The S21 tires are more biased toward street and track riding, whereas the Rosso III tires are a bit more street-focused while handling the odd track day here or there. The Rosso III tires may last about twice as long as the S21 tires. -DrewZilla
would it be a big difference if i ride on a fresh of diablo iii in the front and supercorsa sp v3 in the rear? The company I ordered from sent the wrong rear tire and I don't want to go through the shipping process again.
No, the Rosso IIs (2) were on the market for a very long time before the IIIs (3), so we don't expect an update for a few years. These are still relatively new tires. -DrewZilla
I ordered this tires yesterday by reading the comments I think I make a good Choice first time getting them I always ride on dunlop Q3 + I hope this diablos lll are good 😎
In terms of grip, the Q3s have the most, followed closely by the M7RRs (better wet grip than the Q3s though), and then followed by the Rosso III Tires. The Rosso IIIs have the most tire life, whereas the Q3s have the least tire life. The Q3s are for track and street riding, the M7RRs for all-weather sport and occasional track riding, and the Rosso IIIs are for all-weather sport and occasional sport-touring. -DrewZilla
The Rosso IIIs are great for all-around street riding. They have good grip and longer tire life than the Power RS. The Power RS have a bit more grip than the Pirellis but don't last as long. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/michelin-power-rs-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-tires
Yes, they'd be appropriate for the FZ-09. Reference your current tire sidewalls for proper sizes. I'm pretty sure your bike uses a 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear tire. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-front-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-rear-tires

I just bought a set of these waiting for them to show up. I'm running Michelin 2CT's right now, are they pretty much same as far as cornering grip goes
+RevZilla thanks yeah they got installed yesterday went for a decently quick ride today on these beautiful Germans roads, they feel a lot like the Michelins. I haven't found the edge of the tire yet but they definitely stick like glue though. Good tires
on diablo rosso 2 me dragging knee on street like there is no tomorow, i has bridgestone S21 and s22 but they all time on lean just slip, those diablo rosso i put on bike and after 2 weeks first knee, now 6 weeks and dragging knee all time, parkinglot and all twisties :)
I’m in Asia and monsoon season is approaching. I just bought a Duke 250 and would have purchased the M7RR for year round riding. But many on the Duke 390 message boards say that the 140/70/17 tire is better than the stock size 150/60/17, which would eliminate the M7RR. The theory is that the 150 is pinched on the rim and the fast riders on the RC390 have switched to 140 rear. I am uninterested in tire wear and don’t mind replacing them for the ultimate grip. I want to be able to have the minimum braking distance because of the crazy scooter riders. I will also carve up twisties and need the extra cornering power when a car comes around the blind corner five feet into my lane and I need to tighten the turn unexpectedly. Is it better to get tthe Rosso 3, Rosso 2, Michelin Road 5, RS, or Dunlop Q3+ in 140? Should I get one for the dry season and one for the wet season?
First, make sure you have the same tire model front and rear. Don't only change the rear. That being said, you could easily choose the Michelin Power RS or Dunlop Q3+ in a 140 for the best dry and wet grip. Again, just make sure that you change the front tire to match whichever rear you choose. -DrewZilla
Does it seem like a workable mix having a rosso 3 front with a rosso sport rear on a ninja 300? Only ask as i just got new tyres at kawasaki, and thats what they installed
Absolutely superb tyres... I have them on a gsxr1000. Tried a few different types, as I go through quite a lot,... Dunlop Sportsmart 2, Rosso Corsa, M7RR but like these best.
STR Rider, I had these rolling to the edges with confidence just after fitting and a good run, however I think in fairness it may have been in part due to ambient temperature being a little higher by the time I shifted from M7RR to Rosso 3... (perhaps unfair on the M7RR). I guess most of the big brands offer good tyres these days and it probably boils down to personal preference to some degree. I ran the M7RR for 2589 miles to be exact, used fairly hard on decent highland roads and probably changed a little earlier than could have been run for, the front still looked fine. Given I've two sets of wheels I fitted another rear M7RR in readiness to "use up" the remaining front, so will have a chance to try them back to back again, maybe in similar temperatures. Generally getting about 3k from tyres and the Rosso 3 looks on track to return about the same with 2k already racked up... I'd probably be able to stretch that a bit but can't help myself from splashing out early just to keep that new tyre feel!...both great tyres though.
@@Dubaiinit have you run the M7 and Rosso 3 in a track setting? Curious about your thoughts on stability/grip under hard breaking. I run on the faster side of intermediate pace and I'm thinking about going with the Rosso 3 for more longevity. Just used up a set of Pirelli TD tires in 3 track days.
No, these are not available in the sizes you need. You need a 100/80-17 front tire, and Pirelli does not make these in that size. Also, they do not make these in the 140/60-17 rear size you need. You will need to see what tires are available in your home market. -DrewZilla
esam bader Really, these are excellent tires. Inspire a lot of confidence, even in colder and wetter weather. I have them on my GSXR 1000 and I can say they stick without any warmup, last long and are very sticky when warm. The shape of them gives you a very large contact patch, so lateral grip is very reassuring. Left-right transitions are smooth and they hold a line very well. As with all tires, though, there are compromises. If you live in a climate that regularly sees temperatures over 35 degrees celcius, I'd opt for Q3+s. Q3+s take longer to warm up, aren't as sticky when upright, and aren't as good in the colder and/or wetter, but will stick better on the sidewall, when the ambient temperature is sweltering.
Cerebral Method Thank you for the detailed explanation The climate of my Palestine is moderate, but I am looking for security adhesion for strong detours at high speeds & wheellie And fast warm-up Owned yamaha r6 At the end I adore lines similar to that of Michelin
esam bader If you want outright grip, these are great tires, but not the best. It's tough for a tire to have both outright grip and quick warmup because softer compounds are good at absorbing heat and being sticky when they're cool, but are less sticky when they're really hot...why Supercorsas are really sticky when they're hot, but harder and more slippery when they're cool. And, slow warmup is an easy thing to fix, with several rounds of fast acceleration and hard braking, both when the bike is upright. If you watch Moto GP, you'll know that tire choice is paramount for hard riding, and always directly correlated to ambient conditions. In Southern Ontario, I use these. I used to have Michelin PP3s, and DR3s are better for grip. In Vegas, where it's dry and gets really hot, I use Q3+s, and much of my riding there is at the track. Q3+s aren't the stickiest you can buy, of course, but they last pretty long, are easier on my wallet, and they tolerate the heat better than DR3s. If you're hitting the twisties really hard, tread life is something you'll have to sacrifice if you want something that's really sticky (there's no getting around it). I would recommend your having two sets of tires - one for your cooler months and one for your hotter months. But, if you're budget minded, and can only have one, I'd opt for tires that have a longer warmup and are stickier when they're hot, rather than being concerned about fast warmup...and just don't ride as hard, when the ambient temperature is cooler, until you've had a bunch of good heat building cycles. At the end of the day, you have to choose which characteristic most matches your riding style: tread life, outright grip, or fast warm-up. If you're a savage rider, pay more and go with Supercorsas or RS10s, and take the time to warm them up.
Was thinking about a set of these for my S1000R Which currently has the S20s on it but will need a new set of skins in about 2k I don’t commute with the bike I usually ride to the canyons and I ride aggressive but I also ride through the city to meetings and such but not every day....I’d like some suggestions on a good tire for my BMW
The Pirellis don't have quite as much grip as the S20s, but they are still very good for canyons and all-around riding. If you want more life out of your tires without compromising too much grip, then these are a good option. -DrewZilla
best tyre I have ever used, I have a modded gen 1 zx10r and have no faults. off to Silverstone July on them and riding there also. I'm not worried, top tyre :)
+MrGrimo123 there good, I have been caught out a number of times in the rain. the joys of UK riding. I dont push it in the rain though, I keep it smooth but braking hard in the wet while the bikes upright caused no problems. Sorry I cannot be more helpful I'm not the best in the wet, oil and shit on the roads with water, it's just not worth it.
The Rosso IIIs are all-around sport tires, whereas the S21s are considered more aggressive "hypersport" tires for street and track riding. The Pirellis should offer more mileage, but the S21s can offer more grip. -DrewZilla
Lemmy rides whatever he can get his hands on, including a bunch of choppers, an FZ6, a Z1000, and even an XR650L. Here's an article Lemmy wrote about this past winter's projects. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/common-tread/post-project-puttering-performance-parts
For an RC200, you need a 110/70-17 front and 150/60-17 rear. For your riding, I recommend the GPR300 tires. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dunlop-sportmax-gpr300-tires
I ride street only dont get to low,and only ride rain if i get stuck in it, Probably put 2k miles a year,would you choose these or the michelin pp3 riding 08 r1
Honestly, both are really highly rated all-around sport tires, so it really comes down to personal preference. The Pirellis are slightly more V-shaped, while the Michelins are a bit more U-shaped in profile. It's only a slight difference in profile though. -DrewZilla
How would these compare to the angel gt 2s ? I haven’t really found a direct comparison to the two and I’m still new to the world of motorcycles and not sure which would be best
The Rosso IIIs are all-around sport tires, while the Angel GT 2s are extended-mileage sport/touring tires. Both offer excellent grip for all-around street riding, but the Rosso III tires offer more grip for experienced riders pushing the limits. The Angel GT 2 tires still have plenty of grip for most riders while offering more tire life. For newer riders and those looking for better tire life, the Angel GT 2s are probably the better option. -DrewZilla
How do these compare to the stock S-20's on an fz09? Im very happy with the grip of the S20 except for the short tire life. I ride mostly street, mountain roads with lots of twisty's .
These provide a lot more tire life for only a slight reduction in dry grip. I'd recommend them for your bike and riding style. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-front-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-rear-tires
Too confused. Looking to change from my stock ones on RSV4 this time. More of Urban or weekend highway rides with a couple of track days thrown in here and there every 6 months. Riding in India with hot mostly round the year. Not a very aggressive riding style as well. What should be my choice M7 RRs or Diablo Rosso IIIs ? TY.
The Rosso IIIs are probably better for the combination of highway rides and occasional track days. The Metzelers would probably wear out too fast in the center tread. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/RossoIII_Tires
Hello, I own a 2018 triumph speed triple RS. Although they are amazing on a hot dry day, the supercorsa sp's are not good enough in the wet for my kind of riding. I want to choose the best tyre for a 1500 mile tour in July without sacrificing too much grip and handling. I am stuck between this Rosso 3 and the Diablo rosso corsa 2? What are your thoughts please?? Thankyou...
In terms of everday use in street/urban riding with some long rides during weekends in twisties/canyons ..Which is better M7 RR or Diablo Rosso 3?..thanks
Both are pretty similar for those circumstances, though the Metzelers do a bit better in the wet and the Pirellis in the dry. Keep in mind that Pirelli/Metzeler are sister companies. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/metzeler-sportec-m7-rr-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-tires
I have an FZ10 that I ride in all conditions, temps, etc., as well as long trips, high speeds, and high speed corners. I'm torn between these, PR4's, PP3's, and M7rr's. Any advice?
I'd actually recommend the Metzeler Roadtec 01s. They have the mileage of the PR4s with even better grip. The M7RRs will give even more grip but at the expense of longevity. The Rosso IIIs are good in the dry and have tire life between the M7RRs and the Roadtec 01s. -DrewZilla
I've got a FZ09 and ride every day the same as you. Recently just changed from PR4's to the Rosso IIIs. No doubt the Rosso IIIs have superior grip in the dry. Am yet to use the properly in the rain. The PR4s are a great tire though. I got 12,000kms out of mine before the cupping became an issue. I commute about 35 minutes a day on the highway which did that. Had no problems with scrapping pegs with the PR4s. Though the rear was a bit squirelly on the exit of a corners under gas.
STAY away from michilen pilot roads. I've been riding for 21 years, pilot roads are the ONLY tire I have ever high sided with, or even gone down on road for that matter. The M7RR lasts too long as well, about 8,000miles and a few burnouts and drag races on my hayabusa and still have 20% life left before wear bars. The M7RR however is also very predictable and GREAT in the rain as well as dry. I'm looking into the rosso corsa III as a replacement, but not if theyre any harder than the M7 which already wears like iron.
I ride year round, rain and occasional black ice, down to 15*. The M7rr Does just as well as the pilot road in bad conditions but better everywhere else, and no cupping! Fck pilot roads.
does the grip of the new rosso 3 lose out to corsa v2 by a big margin? anyone tried this tyres yet??? i know rosso 2 was really crappy compare to my corsa v2
I haven't used the v2 but used the older, the edge grip on the rosso 3 feels the same as the super corsa. only thing I had with rosso 3 is a tiny bit of wheel spin, nothing major.
Unless you're riding really hard on the street or riding on the track, you likely won't notice a big difference in grip. The Rosso IIIs warm-up quicker and also work better than the Corsa tires at cooler temperatures. -DrewZilla
Looking to replace current tires. Riding ninja 650 and manual suggests Dunlop Roadsmart II. Not sure if I should get the same, upgrade to the Roadsmart III or give these Rosso III's a shot? Suggestions?
Thanks! I know its hard to gauge but can you give me a ballpark on estimated millage per tire? I would like to go with the Rosso III but i dont want to only get 3,000 mi if I can get the roadsmarts and have the tire twice as long. (general riding nothing beyond the regular no aggressive). Would the Rosso III get between 4-6k and the roadsmart III get like 5-7k?
these tires are super fun, very forgiving at the traction limit and very controllable when sliding, makes my Ducati s2r1000 feel like a dirt bike or flat tracker... super fun if you're a hoon that likes getting sideways. I have Diablo superbike slicks on my track bike, they're nothing like these, they're super sticky as well as being super scary when they break loose.
I've always been a perilli guy but I put some Q3+ on my 2013 tuono v4 and I've been thinking about these tires I do a lot of city,highway and twisties so I'm debating on these or the Angel GT's and I've never had a problem with the angels in the past...recommendation?
Well if you've never had issues with the Angels, then I'd stick with them. However, if you do want balance between the Q3+ and the Angels, then the Rosso IIIs are great. -DrewZilla
I currently have the diablo rosso 2.. my rear tire is pretty toasted now and was curious about upgrading to these but being i can find the 2s for about $50 cheaper rn on revzilla over the 3s should i just continue using the 2s or spend the extra for the 3s?? Thanks
Revzilla, i ride a k1300r. I ride quite hard on the street and I don't do trackways. I also carry a pillion quite often. The think is the bike is very powerful but weights 243 kilos wet. Will this tire work well or I will be better with angel gts A spec for heavier bikes...?!
Thank you for your prompt response! One more thing. Continental sport attacks 2 spec C tires for BMWs? Dimensions only 190/50/17. Do you know anything about this particular tire? Which models was it made for? Is it a good alternative to Angels GTs for my case?
C-Spec designates original equipment on the 2012 BMW S1000RR or so they claim, though here in the US I believe it came with 190/55ZR17 Metzeler Racetec K3 tires. It's possible there were different tires for different markets. For you, I think the Continentals will not be durable or reinforced enough for your bike and your riding. -DrewZilla
Hi...Im riding a Gen 2 Hayabusa..commute to work with pillion..occasional canyon/touring...favour grip over mileage(even tho its tropical heat here in Singapore)..is Rosso 3 able to withstand the load on higher speeds on those occasional tours? Am using Michelin Rd 4 now & they're almost done...your thoughts?
For purely street riding, will there be an advantage going for the rosso 3 instead of the angel gt on an rsv4 factory? Are the tire profiles similar or is the angel gt "flatter"?
Most sport touring tires have a rounder, gentler profile-- but I don't find that to be the case for the Angel GT. They're both pretty snappy. You'll get a bit more dry grip out of the Rosso 3s, but less mileage. For everyday riding the Angel GT is the better choice I think-- if you commute or do trips at all, that's my recommendation. If it's more of a weekend / fun sort of thing, Rosso 3s will be better. -Kraus-e
@@RevZilla so the difference in snappiness and handling will be negligible on the street? Does the angel gt last a lot longer than the rosso 3? I've had the angel gt on my z1000 but haven't tried the rosso 3.
Yes, the Rosso IIIs are definitely better than the Corsas in the wet while still providing great dry grip. You should also consider the Metzeler M7 RRs, which are excellent in the wet. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-rear-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-diablo-rosso-iii-front-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/metzeler-sportec-m7-rr-rear-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/metzeler-sportec-m7-rr-front-tires
Do you have any thoughts on this tire vs Michelin Pilot Road 5's for a Kawi Z650? Intended use is mostly sport touring/motocamping and canyons. SoCal so we don't get much rain but would like to have decent wet performance for touring
how are these compared to the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas as far as longevity goes? i can barely get 3k miles on the rosso corsas and all i do is commute to work. i want the angel gts but i dont want to give up the stickiness. or deal with longer warm up time
Because most of your riding is commuting, I'm not surprised at the tire life. Most of your riding is in the center of the tire. The Rosso IIIs will probably get double the mileage, while the Angel GTs will probably get closer to 10k miles. -DrewZilla
Running a the Michelin power rs on my 19zx6r. Stock size F120/70 R180/55 Looking to try these out next before the q3+. Question is. What difference would doing a 120/60 vs 120/70front do for me in terms of handling
Your front end would be lower, so you might have slightly twitchier steering. At the same time, you'd have slower turn-in. Better to stay with the stock tire sizes. -DrewZilla
The Rosso IIIs are still a street tire, so they excel with quick warm-up, wet grip, and tire life. They even comes close to the extra dry grip of the street/track-focused Pilot Power 2CTs. -DrewZilla
Hey question, I'm on a 2014 Ninja 300 ABS, would love to put these on her. I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to do 120/60-17 (front) & 150/60'17 (rear) ? Or do 140/60-17 (rear). Is there any modifications needed if I go that size? Or should I play it safe with the stock size? I'm worried about effecting my control, cornering, and the flick around factor I'm grown accustomed to. Thanks guys in advance.
It's generally best to stick with the stock sizes to keep the handling from becoming sluggish. For a small bike like the Ninja 300, you want the narrower stock tire sizes for quicker handling. People sometimes go for the 150 rear...but only when the 140 isn't available. -DrewZilla
Pirelli uses the same machines and same materials in their factories around the world, so there is no difference in quality between a Pirelli tire made in their China factory compared to one made in another of their factories. In general, it's the tire company that matters, not just where it's made. -DrewZilla
Switched to these from a Diable Rosso Corsa. Fast street riding has no noticeable difference with grip and feel. The Rosso III is also easier to lean in on corners compared to the Corsas, but that is to be expected because the Corsa is also meant for track use.

How do you like them? I'm looking to upgrade, I ride track as well. Ride safe.
Strange I see this post. I am watching this video to find out the same for my r3.
What mileage did u get from your Rosso 3 on an R3?
How are they holding up mileage wise?
I have these on my '96 Kawasaki ZX7R. 120/70 front, 190/50 rear. I absolutely love them. Coming from using the Dunlop Sportmax and Bridgestone Batllax in the past, these tires completely changed the character of the bike. In a good way. Awesome grip, stability, handling and confidence. Recommend.
I have to say that after owning two sets of Rosso 3's (Got about 5k miles out of the rear on the first), I'll probably never go back to anything else for normal use. I typically commute to work, ride to meets, and on the weekends, I hit the canyons. These are the best all around tires that I've found for that. I honestly feel like they grip amazingly well without even being warmed up.
I wouldn't expect these to be the best tire for the track, but they definitely feel like they could perform extremely well at the track given their versatility. If you can't afford 2 separate sets of tires (Street and track), but want to do both, these are probably the best bang for the buck.
How about compare to see?

I don't ride in the rain so no comment there, I only take my bike out if it's perfect riding weather. I don't commute on it.
Rode two hours in pouring rain going 75+ and had plenty of grip!
Comment I came for. Thanks pal!
Got them today on my 2010 triumph Street triple R, great appearance and performance!
Love this tire on my Ninja H2. Got just over 6000 miles on the rear.
That's the exact info I was looking for on the rear. I've ran the Angel ST for a long time on my last two bikes, but now have a Ducati 1198 and I think I want something with more grip for the power it puts down. I didnt want to spend a ton of money on a tire that's only gonna last maybe 2,000 miles. So knowing you got 6,000 miles on an H2 pretty much seals the deal on these.
Were thrashing it through the twisties aswell or just highway.. How did it hold up? Cheers
@@breto88 A good mix of both, although this most recent set has been more highway. I still think they are an amazing tire. Once this second set is gone, I'll definitely be purchasing another set. Confidence at 💯
Rosso 3 is the best tire that will not break the bank imho i do 2x trackdays per month and i mostly ride mountain routes they are shitload of fun to use and will definitely stick like a glue without warming up
P.s : I ride Yamaha Mt-10 using this bad boy
How are they holding up? Looking at these for my 919.

Can I put a 190 instead of the 180 on my 18 triumph 765r
would you recommend this tire for my 2012 Suzuki Hayabusa?
Yes definetly, ride them on my ZX14 {ZZR1400} excellent turn in and grip on these heavy bikes, massive faith in these.
Got em on my Suzuki GSX S1000. THE GREATEST MOTORCYCLE IN THE HISTORY OF MOTORCYCLES!
You spelled triumph street triple r incorrectly
I have these tyres on my z750r. damm they are great those tyres. with cold weather i had max grip on corners. i drove not that much on the rosso 3 because i got deployed.
What is the shelf of this tyre ?
Good tires! Got them on my Yamaha R1. Grip to the max. Definitely gonna grap them next year again ✌
Witch better pirelli diablo rosso 3 or Michelin pilot power 2ct on the rain? Help me to choice
What sort of mileage can you get with this tyres
Hello, thanks for great review
I ride 650 naked, on street 99% of the time, on wet and dry
Will those fit my bike and my riding style?
Yes, these are great all-around tires for your all-around riding. -DrewZilla
What are the thoughts compared with S21?
The S21 tires are more biased toward street and track riding, whereas the Rosso III tires are a bit more street-focused while handling the odd track day here or there. The Rosso III tires may last about twice as long as the S21 tires. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Would the Rosso 3’s offer more dry grip than the new Angel GT 2’s? And what’s the Dunlop equivalent of Rosso 3’s?
I have the diablo sport tires on my r6 now and haven't done too much hard turning, but I'm planning changing that this summer. About to order these !
would it be a big difference if i ride on a fresh of diablo iii in the front and supercorsa sp v3 in the rear? The company I ordered from sent the wrong rear tire and I don't want to go through the shipping process again.
What is the recommended tire pressure ? I ride a 790 duke
Just bought an 07 gsxr 750 with a new set of these. Seem to have tons of grip.
Do you know if the 3’s are a directional tire?
Are they radial tires?? Hoping to put a set on my RMZ250 supermoto
I like that jacket in the background... What is it please?
Klim Induction, I have one for summer riding and love it.
@@peterrasmussen68 Thanks mate..
In 2019 are nre version coming out?
No, the Rosso IIs (2) were on the market for a very long time before the IIIs (3), so we don't expect an update for a few years. These are still relatively new tires. -DrewZilla
I ordered this tires yesterday by reading the comments I think I make a good Choice first time getting them I always ride on dunlop Q3 + I hope this diablos lll are good 😎
How are they holding up?
how do these compare to the q3 and metzler m7rr
In terms of grip, the Q3s have the most, followed closely by the M7RRs (better wet grip than the Q3s though), and then followed by the Rosso III Tires. The Rosso IIIs have the most tire life, whereas the Q3s have the least tire life. The Q3s are for track and street riding, the M7RRs for all-weather sport and occasional track riding, and the Rosso IIIs are for all-weather sport and occasional sport-touring. -DrewZilla
radial or bias type ?.

Does anyone know what is the suitable psi whenever I reinflate my diablo rosso 3?
Trying to choose between these and Michelin Power RS. How do they compare?
The Rosso IIIs are great for all-around street riding. They have good grip and longer tire life than the Power RS. The Power RS have a bit more grip than the Pirellis but don't last as long. -DrewZilla

The Rosso IIIs are an evolution of the IIs. They have better dry grip, better wet grip, and provide a bit more tire life. -DrewZilla
Does it work on the FZ-09
Yes, they'd be appropriate for the FZ-09. Reference your current tire sidewalls for proper sizes. I'm pretty sure your bike uses a 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear tire. -DrewZilla

Yes, that's not gonna screw anything up, you will just have a better evolved tire on the rear
Very late comment ! But noticed these tires comes on the new Ducati Hypermotard 950 standard. Im assuming they (the tires) are still very relevant and on top of their game ? Thank you!!

They should be pretty similar to the Michelins. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla thanks yeah they got installed yesterday went for a decently quick ride today on these beautiful Germans roads, they feel a lot like the Michelins. I haven't found the edge of the tire yet but they definitely stick like glue though. Good tires

For more tire life, the Michelins. For more grip and still good tire life, the Pirellis. -DrewZilla
I’m in Asia and monsoon season is approaching. I just bought a Duke 250 and would have purchased the M7RR for year round riding. But many on the Duke 390 message boards say that the 140/70/17 tire is better than the stock size 150/60/17, which would eliminate the M7RR. The theory is that the 150 is pinched on the rim and the fast riders on the RC390 have switched to 140 rear. I am uninterested in tire wear and don’t mind replacing them for the ultimate grip. I want to be able to have the minimum braking distance because of the crazy scooter riders. I will also carve up twisties and need the extra cornering power when a car comes around the blind corner five feet into my lane and I need to tighten the turn unexpectedly. Is it better to get tthe Rosso 3, Rosso 2, Michelin Road 5, RS, or Dunlop Q3+ in 140? Should I get one for the dry season and one for the wet season?
First, make sure you have the same tire model front and rear. Don't only change the rear. That being said, you could easily choose the Michelin Power RS or Dunlop Q3+ in a 140 for the best dry and wet grip. Again, just make sure that you change the front tire to match whichever rear you choose. -DrewZilla
Love these tires
My Ducati monster 1200 S came with these tires, after they wear out should I replace them with same or something else
That's completely up to you. I think the Rosso IIIs are great all-around sport tires, so if you like them, I would go with them again. -DrewZilla
Does it seem like a workable mix having a rosso 3 front with a rosso sport rear on a ninja 300? Only ask as i just got new tyres at kawasaki, and thats what they installed
These tires are great. Sticky!
This tires are good in hot temperature?
Yes, they're good in hot temperatures. -DrewZilla

Currently using it on my drz.... Works better than michellin lol
Is there any decent grip with this tire?
+Jeff K Yes, the Rosso IIIs improve grip and longevity over the Rosso IIs, which were already great tires. -DrewZilla
I have a 2001 zx7r sport naked Street Fighter look with all the good reviews I have to have them on my bike
Absolutely superb tyres... I have them on a gsxr1000. Tried a few different types, as I go through quite a lot,... Dunlop Sportsmart 2, Rosso Corsa, M7RR but like these best.
furryboot moto why do you like the Rosso 3 over the M7RR and how many miles from them ?
STR Rider, I had these rolling to the edges with confidence just after fitting and a good run, however I think in fairness it may have been in part due to ambient temperature being a little higher by the time I shifted from M7RR to Rosso 3... (perhaps unfair on the M7RR). I guess most of the big brands offer good tyres these days and it probably boils down to personal preference to some degree. I ran the M7RR for 2589 miles to be exact, used fairly hard on decent highland roads and probably changed a little earlier than could have been run for, the front still looked fine.
Given I've two sets of wheels I fitted another rear M7RR in readiness to "use up" the remaining front, so will have a chance to try them back to back again, maybe in similar temperatures. Generally getting about 3k from tyres and the Rosso 3 looks on track to return about the same with 2k already racked up... I'd probably be able to stretch that a bit but can't help myself from splashing out early just to keep that new tyre feel!...both great tyres though.
@@Dubaiinit have you run the M7 and Rosso 3 in a track setting? Curious about your thoughts on stability/grip under hard breaking. I run on the faster side of intermediate pace and I'm thinking about going with the Rosso 3 for more longevity. Just used up a set of Pirelli TD tires in 3 track days.
Best all round tires ever.
Are they dual compound?
Yes, they are dual compound. -DrewZilla
Maybe good for an r3?
Overkill for an R3. You've got approx 40HP, where these go on liter bikes with over 100+hp.
@@aussieidiot True, I'm going to get some q3's
Is this ok for gixxer fi 155 2018 model?
No, these are not available in the sizes you need. You need a 100/80-17 front tire, and Pirelli does not make these in that size. Also, they do not make these in the 140/60-17 rear size you need. You will need to see what tires are available in your home market. -DrewZilla
Is it quick to warm up ?? Suitable for turns ?!
Yes, these tires are quick to warm up and are suitable for turns. -DrewZilla
Look for an appropriate frame within the country
And long distances for the weekend
Fast warm-up and long lifespan
esam bader Really, these are excellent tires. Inspire a lot of confidence, even in colder and wetter weather. I have them on my GSXR 1000 and I can say they stick without any warmup, last long and are very sticky when warm. The shape of them gives you a very large contact patch, so lateral grip is very reassuring. Left-right transitions are smooth and they hold a line very well. As with all tires, though, there are compromises. If you live in a climate that regularly sees temperatures over 35 degrees celcius, I'd opt for Q3+s. Q3+s take longer to warm up, aren't as sticky when upright, and aren't as good in the colder and/or wetter, but will stick better on the sidewall, when the ambient temperature is sweltering.
Cerebral Method Thank you for the detailed explanation The climate of my Palestine is moderate, but I am looking for security adhesion for strong detours at high speeds & wheellie And fast warm-up Owned yamaha r6 At the end I adore lines similar to that of Michelin
esam bader If you want outright grip, these are great tires, but not the best. It's tough for a tire to have both outright grip and quick warmup because softer compounds are good at absorbing heat and being sticky when they're cool, but are less sticky when they're really hot...why Supercorsas are really sticky when they're hot, but harder and more slippery when they're cool. And, slow warmup is an easy thing to fix, with several rounds of fast acceleration and hard braking, both when the bike is upright. If you watch Moto GP, you'll know that tire choice is paramount for hard riding, and always directly correlated to ambient conditions.
In Southern Ontario, I use these. I used to have Michelin PP3s, and DR3s are better for grip. In Vegas, where it's dry and gets really hot, I use Q3+s, and much of my riding there is at the track. Q3+s aren't the stickiest you can buy, of course, but they last pretty long, are easier on my wallet, and they tolerate the heat better than DR3s.
If you're hitting the twisties really hard, tread life is something you'll have to sacrifice if you want something that's really sticky (there's no getting around it). I would recommend your having two sets of tires - one for your cooler months and one for your hotter months. But, if you're budget minded, and can only have one, I'd opt for tires that have a longer warmup and are stickier when they're hot, rather than being concerned about fast warmup...and just don't ride as hard, when the ambient temperature is cooler, until you've had a bunch of good heat building cycles.
At the end of the day, you have to choose which characteristic most matches your riding style: tread life, outright grip, or fast warm-up. If you're a savage rider, pay more and go with Supercorsas or RS10s, and take the time to warm them up.
Rosso 3 or Battlax S22?
For all-around street riding, the Rosso IIIs. If you do track days, then the S22. -DrewZilla
Awesome tyre. Got 12,000 kms on my R1. Sticks like shit to a carpet
Was thinking about a set of these for my S1000R
Which currently has the S20s on it but will need a new set of skins in about 2k
I don’t commute with the bike I usually ride to the canyons and I ride aggressive but I also ride through the city to meetings and such but not every day....I’d like some suggestions on a good tire for my BMW
The Pirellis don't have quite as much grip as the S20s, but they are still very good for canyons and all-around riding. If you want more life out of your tires without compromising too much grip, then these are a good option. -DrewZilla
Angel gt 2 vs diablo rosso III for ducati monster s2r1000?
Angel GT 2 for the best tire life; Rosso III for even more grip but slightly less tire life. -DrewZilla
RevZilla are Rosso 3’s equivalent to Dunlop Q3’s+? Or would a more equal comparison to the Q3’s would be the Diablo Corsa SP’s?

+MrGrimo123 there good, I have been caught out a number of times in the rain. the joys of UK riding.

+Damien wood thanks mate some here I'm from Manchester it always rains here.
How do these stack up against the Bridgestone s21's?
The Rosso IIIs are all-around sport tires, whereas the S21s are considered more aggressive "hypersport" tires for street and track riding. The Pirellis should offer more mileage, but the S21s can offer more grip. -DrewZilla
What bike do you ride Lemmy?

For an RC200, you need a 110/70-17 front and 150/60-17 rear. For your riding, I recommend the GPR300 tires. -DrewZilla

I ride street only dont get to low,and only ride rain if i get stuck in it, Probably put 2k miles a year,would you choose these or the michelin pp3 riding 08 r1
Honestly, both are really highly rated all-around sport tires, so it really comes down to personal preference. The Pirellis are slightly more V-shaped, while the Michelins are a bit more U-shaped in profile. It's only a slight difference in profile though. -DrewZilla
think im gonna get the pirellis cause they look better and my 08 still has the stock front pirelli on it with 12k on it
How would these compare to the angel gt 2s ? I haven’t really found a direct comparison to the two and I’m still new to the world of motorcycles and not sure which would be best
The Rosso IIIs are all-around sport tires, while the Angel GT 2s are extended-mileage sport/touring tires. Both offer excellent grip for all-around street riding, but the Rosso III tires offer more grip for experienced riders pushing the limits. The Angel GT 2 tires still have plenty of grip for most riders while offering more tire life. For newer riders and those looking for better tire life, the Angel GT 2s are probably the better option. -DrewZilla
How do these compare to the stock S-20's on an fz09? Im very happy with the grip of the S20 except for the short tire life. I ride mostly street, mountain roads with lots of twisty's .
These provide a lot more tire life for only a slight reduction in dry grip. I'd recommend them for your bike and riding style. -DrewZilla

Riding in India with hot mostly round the year. Not a very aggressive riding style as well. What should be my choice M7 RRs or Diablo Rosso IIIs ? TY.
The Rosso IIIs are probably better for the combination of highway rides and occasional track days. The Metzelers would probably wear out too fast in the center tread. -DrewZilla

In terms of everday use in street/urban riding with some long rides during weekends in twisties/canyons ..Which is better M7 RR or Diablo Rosso 3?..thanks

I have an FZ10 that I ride in all conditions, temps, etc., as well as long trips, high speeds, and high speed corners. I'm torn between these, PR4's, PP3's, and M7rr's. Any advice?
I'd actually recommend the Metzeler Roadtec 01s. They have the mileage of the PR4s with even better grip. The M7RRs will give even more grip but at the expense of longevity. The Rosso IIIs are good in the dry and have tire life between the M7RRs and the Roadtec 01s. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Thank you!
I've got a FZ09 and ride every day the same as you. Recently just changed from PR4's to the Rosso IIIs. No doubt the Rosso IIIs have superior grip in the dry. Am yet to use the properly in the rain. The PR4s are a great tire though. I got 12,000kms out of mine before the cupping became an issue. I commute about 35 minutes a day on the highway which did that. Had no problems with scrapping pegs with the PR4s. Though the rear was a bit squirelly on the exit of a corners under gas.
STAY away from michilen pilot roads. I've been riding for 21 years, pilot roads are the ONLY tire I have ever high sided with, or even gone down on road for that matter. The M7RR lasts too long as well, about 8,000miles and a few burnouts and drag races on my hayabusa and still have 20% life left before wear bars. The M7RR however is also very predictable and GREAT in the rain as well as dry. I'm looking into the rosso corsa III as a replacement, but not if theyre any harder than the M7 which already wears like iron.
I ride year round, rain and occasional black ice, down to 15*. The M7rr Does just as well as the pilot road in bad conditions but better everywhere else, and no cupping! Fck pilot roads.
does the grip of the new rosso 3 lose out to corsa v2 by a big margin?
anyone tried this tyres yet??? i know rosso 2 was really crappy compare to my corsa v2
I haven't used the v2 but used the older, the edge grip on the rosso 3 feels the same as the super corsa. only thing I had with rosso 3 is a tiny bit of wheel spin, nothing major.
Unless you're riding really hard on the street or riding on the track, you likely won't notice a big difference in grip. The Rosso IIIs warm-up quicker and also work better than the Corsa tires at cooler temperatures. -DrewZilla
Looking to replace current tires. Riding ninja 650 and manual suggests Dunlop Roadsmart II. Not sure if I should get the same, upgrade to the Roadsmart III or give these Rosso III's a shot? Suggestions?
For increased tire life and good grip, go with the Roadsmart IIIs. For good tire life and better grip, go with the Rosso IIIs. -DrewZilla
Thanks! I know its hard to gauge but can you give me a ballpark on estimated millage per tire? I would like to go with the Rosso III but i dont want to only get 3,000 mi if I can get the roadsmarts and have the tire twice as long. (general riding nothing beyond the regular no aggressive). Would the Rosso III get between 4-6k and the roadsmart III get like 5-7k?
Rosso IIIs might be 5-7k, and the Roadsmart IIIs might go 10k+. -DrewZilla
Dunlop sportsmart TT or 2 Max!!
these tires are super fun, very forgiving at the traction limit and very controllable when sliding, makes my Ducati s2r1000 feel like a dirt bike or flat tracker... super fun if you're a hoon that likes getting sideways.
I have Diablo superbike slicks on my track bike, they're nothing like these, they're super sticky as well as being super scary when they break loose.
I've always been a perilli guy but I put some Q3+ on my 2013 tuono v4 and I've been thinking about these tires I do a lot of city,highway and twisties so I'm debating on these or the Angel GT's and I've never had a problem with the angels in the past...recommendation?
Well if you've never had issues with the Angels, then I'd stick with them. However, if you do want balance between the Q3+ and the Angels, then the Rosso IIIs are great. -DrewZilla
much better than michelin power3
I currently have the diablo rosso 2.. my rear tire is pretty toasted now and was curious about upgrading to these but being i can find the 2s for about $50 cheaper rn on revzilla over the 3s should i just continue using the 2s or spend the extra for the 3s?? Thanks
Revzilla, i ride a k1300r. I ride quite hard on the street and I don't do trackways. I also carry a pillion quite often. The think is the bike is very powerful but weights 243 kilos wet. Will this tire work well or I will be better with angel gts A spec for heavier bikes...?!
Yes, this tire will work but won't last long for your bike, so I think the Angel GT A Spec Tires will be better for you. -DrewZilla
Thank you for your prompt response! One more thing. Continental sport attacks 2 spec C tires for BMWs? Dimensions only 190/50/17. Do you know anything about this particular tire? Which models was it made for? Is it a good alternative to Angels GTs for my case?
C-Spec designates original equipment on the 2012 BMW S1000RR or so they claim, though here in the US I believe it came with 190/55ZR17 Metzeler Racetec K3 tires. It's possible there were different tires for different markets. For you, I think the Continentals will not be durable or reinforced enough for your bike and your riding. -DrewZilla
Allway's used the Pirelli Supercorsa's..i don't want other tyres on my racers..
Hi...Im riding a Gen 2 Hayabusa..commute to work with pillion..occasional canyon/touring...favour grip over mileage(even tho its tropical heat here in Singapore)..is Rosso 3 able to withstand the load on higher speeds on those occasional tours? Am using Michelin Rd 4 now & they're almost done...your thoughts?
Yes, the Rosso III should be able to handle the load at speed. -DrewZilla
For purely street riding, will there be an advantage going for the rosso 3 instead of the angel gt on an rsv4 factory? Are the tire profiles similar or is the angel gt "flatter"?
Most sport touring tires have a rounder, gentler profile-- but I don't find that to be the case for the Angel GT. They're both pretty snappy. You'll get a bit more dry grip out of the Rosso 3s, but less mileage. For everyday riding the Angel GT is the better choice I think-- if you commute or do trips at all, that's my recommendation. If it's more of a weekend / fun sort of thing, Rosso 3s will be better. -Kraus-e
@@RevZilla so the difference in snappiness and handling will be negligible on the street? Does the angel gt last a lot longer than the rosso 3? I've had the angel gt on my z1000 but haven't tried the rosso 3.
The Angel GTs could possibly last 30-50% longer than the Rosso 3s, but it all depends on riding style and any number of other variables. -DrewZilla
Any chance they might have the sizes for diavel?
Not yet. Over time, Pirelli will introduce more sizes. -DrewZilla
How well would they work on a cruiser bike? My 2019 Victory Octane is in need of a rear tire.
Are these going to be any good in the wet ? I have a set of the corsa's on my triumph and there not so good in the wet.
Yes, the Rosso IIIs are definitely better than the Corsas in the wet while still providing great dry grip. You should also consider the Metzeler M7 RRs, which are excellent in the wet. -DrewZilla

how are these compared to the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas as far as longevity goes? i can barely get 3k miles on the rosso corsas and all i do is commute to work. i want the angel gts but i dont want to give up the stickiness. or deal with longer warm up time
Because most of your riding is commuting, I'm not surprised at the tire life. Most of your riding is in the center of the tire. The Rosso IIIs will probably get double the mileage, while the Angel GTs will probably get closer to 10k miles. -DrewZilla
RevZilla angel GT it is . thank you sir
Running a the Michelin power rs on my 19zx6r. Stock size F120/70 R180/55
Looking to try these out next before the q3+. Question is. What difference would doing a 120/60 vs 120/70front do for me in terms of handling
Your front end would be lower, so you might have slightly twitchier steering. At the same time, you'd have slower turn-in. Better to stay with the stock tire sizes. -DrewZilla
So how do these compare to a Pilot Power 2ct?
The Rosso IIIs are still a street tire, so they excel with quick warm-up, wet grip, and tire life. They even comes close to the extra dry grip of the street/track-focused Pilot Power 2CTs. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Alright, thanks for the help!
Hey question, I'm on a 2014 Ninja 300 ABS, would love to put these on her. I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to do 120/60-17 (front) & 150/60'17 (rear) ? Or do 140/60-17 (rear). Is there any modifications needed if I go that size? Or should I play it safe with the stock size? I'm worried about effecting my control, cornering, and the flick around factor I'm grown accustomed to. Thanks guys in advance.
It's generally best to stick with the stock sizes to keep the handling from becoming sluggish. For a small bike like the Ninja 300, you want the narrower stock tire sizes for quicker handling. People sometimes go for the 150 rear...but only when the 140 isn't available. -DrewZilla
I sold my motorcycle 5 years ago.
I also miss these tires😅🤣
What do you think about China made? I mean tires made in China worse than made in Germany?
Pirelli uses the same machines and same materials in their factories around the world, so there is no difference in quality between a Pirelli tire made in their China factory compared to one made in another of their factories. In general, it's the tire company that matters, not just where it's made. -DrewZilla
