Totally different types of type. Pirelli in my opinion is not a daily type of tyre. Is very good for track days or for the Saturday ride and totally not for wet tarmac. I have the matzel in my cb600f (Hornet) and very pleased. My regards from Crete. Ride Safe

Agree on Pirelli Diablo Rosso Scooter. Had them on Burgman 400 and replaced them after 1 season and 6000km because of the lack of grip. Had a set of Pirelli Angel GT on a Deauville 700 that had great grip on dry and wet. On wet it only slipped once on oil or antifreze, looked in the mirror and i didn't see anithing on the asphalt.

Damn man, you really defend the slip... Same here, no stock for metzeler tyres so have to go with Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2... I haven't got slip yet and I hope not to... I heard Maxxims tyres are good too for wet grip for cornering, will try that for next change..... Now need to ride on Pirelli first...

Different tires size and speed and Wight codes, can work differently on different bike/scooters. On my piaggio bv 350 I use Michelin City grip, and they work on my scooter. Last year I hade to change tires, was considering another brand, but since I know the tires and how they behaved on my scooter I stick with Michelin City grip, so Mabye next time I re consider. Are you gonna change tires or wait to those are worn out? What tire size does ak550 use?

Yes,just as I thought,my new Forza 350 has these Pirelli tyres on it and now I am scared,I will have to ride with extra caution. Now that I have owned and ridden my Forza 350 for over 1300 miles I am extremely happy and surprized at how good those Pirelli tyres are, much better than the City grips ever where.

Another thing I noticed with the Pirelli Diablos, the direction of the treads of the tire should point to the forward direction, they say "to push the water to the sides". Makes sense actually, but this principle applies to the rear Diablos but not to the front? The front Diablos' tread direction points to the rear. Pirelli never gave a satisfactory explanation for it.

Metzeler have upgraded the Feel Free with the Roadtec and I might go with this tyre instead of the Bridgestone Hoop I was planning to put on my Kymco X-Town 300, due to the fact that it has been an amazing set of tyres for motorbikes and I guess it is amazing for scooters as well.

Pirelli buy Metzeller in 1987. They are same manufactor. I have Metzeller Roadtec sc in my xmax 300 and i love them in wet road. When i change i dont know if i'm gonna keep the same or change to try Pirelli Angel. Original i had Michelin Citygrip but after 14 000 km the look of tires was good but the rubber lost grip.
