And they take longer to warm up than PP's

Did someone mention a sale on Diablo Rossos? Where would I find said sale?

True. But they're solid when they're nice and hot. I only use them for the street anyway and they handle what I throw at 'em, like some nice, 140 mph sweepers on Saturday.

I wanted Pilot Road 2's when I was due for tires. I was told by a few vendors that the were on "indefinite backorder". I ended up going with Pilot Power 2CTs.

Smooth and quick. Wouldn't use any other.

Bet they wear fast against asphalt.

I had some sport demons on my ninja 250. Nice tires. Wish they made them for my vfr wheel size.

With the proper amount of lube nothing wears, it just gets a bit slippery
