The Pirelli Diablo Rosso III is the sport road tyre from Pirelli's long-running Diablo family, developed with technology drawn from the brand's World Superbike programme. This listing covers the front tyre in 120/70ZR17 M/C (58W) TL, the standard front fitment for most supersport and naked sports machines.
It suits riders who spend their time on the road but want race-derived feel — quick, predictable turn-in from a WSBK-derived profile, a large contact patch for grip, and a directional "flash" tread pattern taken from the DIABLO Supercorsa that clears water effectively in the wet. High-performance silica compound technology gives a broad operating temperature window, so the tyre works across cool mornings and hot afternoons alike.
Sold individually as a single front tyre. Fitting, balancing and disposal of the old tyre are not included.
- Sport road tyre for street use; direct predecessor of the DIABLO ROSSO IV
- Front fitment in 120/70ZR17 M/C, load/speed rating 58W (up to 270 km/h)
- Tubeless (TL) radial construction
- Profile derived from Pirelli's World Superbike experience for faster, lighter turn-in
- High-performance silica compound technology for a wide operating temperature range
- Directional "flash" tread pattern derived from the DIABLO Supercorsa racing tyre
- Tread design engineered for effective water dispersal and wet-weather performance
- Large footprint area for increased contact and adherence
- Designed for uniform wear and consistent performance across the tyre's life

- Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician using proper machinery — do not attempt roadside or lever-only fitment on a modern radial.
- The tread pattern is directional: check that the rotation arrow on the sidewall matches the wheel's direction of travel before the wheel goes back in.
- Scrub in new tyres gently for the first 100–150 km, building lean angle progressively, until the release agents and mould sheen have worn off the full width of the tread.
- Check cold inflation pressures at least weekly and before every long ride, using the pressures specified by your motorcycle manufacturer for the load you are carrying.
- Inspect the tyre regularly for cuts, embedded stones or foreign objects, bulges, and uneven or stepped wear; have any damage assessed before riding.
- Monitor the tread wear indicators moulded into the grooves and replace the tyre before it reaches the legal minimum tread depth.
- Allow the tyre to reach operating temperature before pushing on, particularly in cold conditions or on cold, damp roads.
- Clean with mild soapy water and rinse thoroughly; keep tyre shine, solvents, petrol and silicone dressings off the tread, as they can compromise grip.
- Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources such as electric motors, and hydrocarbons.
- Replace front and rear as a matched pair where practical, and avoid mixing brands or tread patterns across axles.
