It seems that those three tyres are some of the best to have on a scooter.
I am in need of a new back tyre and thought of asking for your opinion, preferences, experiences etc.
What do you guys think?

I have the Diablo on the back and it feels fine Ive been reading the Michelin citygrips are highly regarded.

Bridgestne Hoops are also worthy of consideration for Tmax duty.

Not for a mk3 Tmax, though the B.stone BT011/012s are very good. You could put B.stone TH01s on but they change the feel of the scoot immensely - very grippy feel, but much heavier, whilst the BT011/012s are very sporty and agile.
My Tmax came with the Dunlops as original equipment - I wasn't overly keen. They were OK in the dry, but lacked feel in the wet.

PS the D252s were fitted as original equipment on the mk2 Tmax, as an alternative to the Bstone TH01s. I think they were considered inferior to the TH01s - and since the TMax mk2 and 3 seem to have quite different tyre requirements, I wouldn't risk the D252s. As I said, the GPR100s were OKish - never tried the Pirellis, but I don't like Pirellis much anyway (personal prejudice).
