I am liking the avon's, I may pick some up if I can get em here before the rally. I may end up on my track corsa III's if I can get any here and on before that.

I definitely like the specs of the Avon's and I ran them back in the day but I'm too in love with Pirelli right now to cheat on them. I'm definitely going with the Rosso as my next tire when my front wears out.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to give the Conti Road Attacks a run as my next tire. Heard a lot of good things about 'em, and they are priced to compete.

I'd love to give you the lowdown on the PR2's, but my fucking bike did not last long enough to test them for real...

So who here has tried the Stradas? I just fried my Scorpion Sync @ ~ 3400 miles. Stradas are "supposed" to be be the best of both worlds. Any opinions?

Hopefully the Road 2s are better than the Roads. If you're doing any really aggressive riding, I'd stay away from them (the first gen). Right now I have my Roads 3 psi below stock just to feel decent, and finally they're building some heat. They don't grip very well on cold roads either.

I know plenty of SB people run the Diablo Stradas and love them. Couple locals here run the Conti's and say they're good.

I will let you know at a later date. Those are my next choice for tires.

Friend has them on his 96 YZF600. Over 6000 miles, a lot of superslab commuting, a little squaring, but not terrible.
He run's 'em edge to edge on fun weekends too, just not a track tire.

As a comparo, his strada's after 6000 miles look similar to my corsa III's after 2000 miles.

There will be absolutely NO track time on my bike. Agressive riding on back roads, yes. Track days, no. From what I have read, the Stradas should do me well.

I have the Strada's on my bike... the only comparison I can give you is to the Dunslop 208's I had stock... and they're night and day diffrence... but i don't know how much that's saying for the Strada's... as the Dunslops inspired fear... those things SUCK

I do like the Strada's so far... but honestly I've got less than 500 miles on them. I can give ya a better review after september though :lol:
