Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV 120/70 R14 Honda PCX 10,000 miles July 26, 2023
Front only review on a PCX 125. Previously I was a bit disappointed on using DR2 as they're easily cupped in 3 months. Switching to DR4 gave much better responses. Grip on dry and wet roads are definitely better, warms up quickly, very confident to lean with. After two years and 10K miles it didn't show any signs of cupping at all, unlike the previous DR2 I've use. Great to buy again next time.

Michelin Pilot Street 120/70 R14 Honda Vario scooter 50 miles February 22, 2016
I used this tyre on my scooter, first time I ride I felt confidence by the name of Michelin but I found several time when I take a sharp turn or cornering, this tyre didn't give me a proper grip especially at the rear tyre and also it only last for 10 months of use which is too short for me compared to my previous tyre.
Now I put local brand of tyre 'Corsa' at my rear tyre and still use Michelin at front and still the Michelin didn't give me proper grip if I cornering too sharp..the Corsa did better.
In wet road..I didn't dare to pushed too far
