Any info gratefully etc etc….

In their day the Diablo Z6's were excellent. Now they are a 3rd generation product from Pirelli and as such, are now made with cheaper ingredients. They won't be the same Z6's from a few years ago, despite looking the same and called the same.
Go for the Z8 or even better, the Roadtec 01 or even the brand new Roadtec 02. Fabulous tyres and current top spec items. Some of the 3 to 4 year old models from all of the premium manufacturers are far better than any of us on the road. They are still made with their original materials and offer fab bargains in most places.
Feel free to message me as I have 38 years in the tyre industry and I'm a total tyre nerd but I love them!
