Just ordered the Diablo Stradas. Rave reviews from probably 90% of SB forum. Supposedly, the Stradas have great grip and still go for 8,000+ miles- downside is the solid rubber on the center of the rear makes it hard to tell when they're done. They almost have to be better than the Roads.
My front tire is worn all the way to the edge, but the rear has 1/2"+ strips. I'm convinced that played a large part in my lowside. Could be only the combination of those tires on this specific model bike. Only good thing is that the front didn't cup like the BT020s, and steering is still decent instead of slowing way down. They have decent grip for a sport touring tire, but that's at 3psi below stock, and lower pressure definitely decreased the life expectancy. Higher pressure would yield better mileage, but less grip.
