I ride a 1098 with Pirelli Diablo's and I'm wondering how much air pressure I should run on the street?Everyone seems to have a different opinion so I'm looking for some suggestions.
 
Bike: 2005 999R
Tires: Pirelli Diablo Corsa III
Riding conditions: Dry Canyon, running fairly hard
PSI (before warm-up): Front - 30 Rear - 29


FWIW, I've read a review of this tire that claims you should run these tires @ 34 Front and 36 Rear (street use).

I have talked to the Pirelli race support tire sponsor at the track. He recommends running 28F and 24R for the Dragon Supercorsa Pro and the Diablo Supercorsa for the track and hard street riding.

I have been experimenting and I run 28F and 26R and the tires grip and wear very well on the street on the Diablo Supercorsa's. They warm up very quickly.

I also run the Corsa III's on my Paul Smart LE and I too run them at 30F and 29R. I have been experiencing some weird wear on the front and I need to talk to someone too seek advice as to what the issue may be.

Good luck. My suggestion is to experiment just like you would do with your suspension.
