Title: Marking on a new tyre
Post by: Gumboot50 on August 13, 2023, 09:42:44 PM

Hello all,
Hope you're all keeping well.
We've just got a new rear tyre for my wife's Street Triple. It has a marking that I haven't seen before. Does anyone know what it means? (Nothing bad, I hope!). It's a Pirelli Diablo Rosso III 180/55 ZR 17, by the way.
Thanks very much,
Steve

It's just something they decided to put on there.. A tramp stamp if you will  lol

Looks like a 'D' for Diablo with two little devil horns at the top. All the manufacturers are putting little gimmicks like this on the tyres now.

Duh, of course! Staring right at me and I couldn't see it.

Thanks very much.

No problem, I notice the Angel ST has a stylised Angel complete with halo on it. Nothing exciting like that on my Bridgestones...
