Hi, My 748B is in need of a new set of tyres and I was wondering if any of you have any thoughts on the brand and type that you recommend? My bike is fitted with Pirelli Diablo Strada at the moment which are some years old.

Best wishes,

Martin.

I would add…go for a sport touring tyre not the out and out race tyre (99% of road riding can not exploit them).

Any hint of wet on a fully focused sport tyre will be a tricky ride indeed.
