<br>Has anyone ever fitted Pirelli Corsas to their FZR1000?<br><br>I have a 180 Diablo on the back and on Saturday got a 120 Corsa for the front.<br>Ever since I made the change it feels like the front end oscillates at speed!<br>Also the bike now pitches when I go into a deep corner.<br><br>COuld it be that i'm just getting loads more feedback from a front tyre?<br>Am I in that esoteric "wrong tyre for the bike" area?<br><br>Is it cooincidental and really I just need to get my suspension adjusted?<br><br>Any thoughts greatly appreciated,<br><br>Hiras <p></p><i></i>

Re: Tyres
I believe those are some of the best tires out there. After checking air pressure which I think should be around 35psi for normal street riding, and having the front tire re-balanced, it might be just the way they ride.<br><br>As far as pitching in, they are most likely profiled like that to enable easy dive in to corners. Which I would consider a plus for optimum handling.<br><br>I would definitely say they are not the 'wrong' tire for the bike.<br><br>Check out <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.tl1000.com/pb_tires/sport_ri ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> and click on the individual page for your tires to read the review. <p></p><i></i>
