Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa package

Save 31%

Price: £299.00 (was £430)

www.demon-tweeks.com

MCN Chief Road Tester, Michael Neeves, said: "The Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsas are an even better all-around hi gh-performance road tyre than the stickier Super Corsa SP.

"They fit between the SP and Diablo Rosso IV in their range and are designed for fast road riding and track days. I can vouch for their grip on the track, having ridden a BMW S1000RR on them at Mugello at their launch.

"Aside from slightly slower steering characteristics and a firmer ride, you’d be hard pushed to tell them apart from a Super Corsa SP."

Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart IV tyres

Save 31%

Price: £117 (was £167.17)

www.demon-tweeks.com

MCN Chief Road Tester, Michael Neeves, said: "Fitted to an MT-07 test bike, the biggest compliment you can give is the RoadSmart IVs feel just like a sports tyre.

"The naked’s steering is light and there’s none of the stodgy resistance through the bars you’d get from old-school sports touring rubber as you peel into a corner. They’re stable, happy at full lean and have more grip than the Yamaha can dish out on the road in the dry."

Metzeler Sportec M9 RR package

Save 31%

Price: £286 (was £408.58)

www.demon-tweeks.com

MCN Chief Road Tester, Michael Neeves, said: "Unless you’re doing something really daft it’s impossible to find the edges of rear grip on the road, the M9 RRs are light-steering changing direction and warm-up nice and quickly, too.

"With Metzeler’s test rider being able to carry more lean and get on the throttle harder in testing, they claim the new rubber is 3.4 seconds faster than the old M7 RR around the long Pergusa track in Sicily and 2.5 seconds quicker at the shorter Binetto circuit.

"Like its sports touring Roadtec 01 sibling the M9 RR has seriously impressive wet weather straight line braking grip and hang on under the force of brutal acceleration. You can only trouble the ABS and traction electronics if you’re dishing out the kind of brutality you’d never dream of on the road, so there’s a huge safety margin."
