Average Customer Rating:4.5 out of 5 (based on 11 ratings)
Extended Mileage Sport (EMS) tires ideal for those who love to travel longer distances without sacrificing sport performance
All-new HGHM Compound (High Grip/High Mileage) consists of the latest generation of advanced polymers, high matrix carbon black and liquid silica
HGHM Compound offers dry grip close to that of Diablo and wet grip that exceeds the competition; designed for high performance and reliability in all weather conditions
Precision handling thanks to the Ideal Geometry Profile (IGP), which has been designed to maximize the shape of both front and rear tires
The new compound guarantees an immediate warm-up at low temperatures – cold and wet pavement is no longer a problem; handling and grip are consistent in all weather conditions
Pros: This is my second Diablo Strada tire. This tire wears well, I had almost 11000 miles and was just at the point were they started looking bald in the centre. They stick well when cornering, I noticed a huge difference over the stock Dunlops that came on the VFR. For the money its a hard tire to beat, imo.

Excellent Tires from Pirelli
By Tom from KY on 08/02/2008
Pros: Bought these for an 07 R6 believe it or not. I own 2 bikes-one for track and one for street. I put these on my street bike and they work amazingly! I ride very aggressively and these tires grip really well. Not as well as a track tire, but for an extended mileage sport touring they work very well. The price is also great! I have worn these tires to the sides with no chicken strips and they have never let me down. Go get 'em!
Cons: None.
Comments: They do take awhile to warm up, but after a few minutes, you'd swear they were a grippy track-day tire.

HEAVEN
By SPEADFREAK from Wisconsin on 05/28/2008
Pros: 3rd set of tires for my V-Twin, have lasted the longest with great grip. Outlasted ANY of the competition. 4000miles and only small signs of wear. If you hit the highway for major miles and still hit the twisties to drag the occasional knee, this is the tire for you. For Wisconsin riders this tire works in 34degree weather. If you are in WI and get run past by a silver SV1000 with a 6'5" 300lb guy draggin his knee past you, it's probably me!!!!!!!!
Comments: By the way, my buddy with an RC51 uses them too, won't give his name but he absolutely loves them too and he is the only person I know in Wisconsin that rides sportbike longer than me and harder... (Read the rest of this review)

By Anonymous from Anytown, USA on 05/02/2008
Pros: Great handling and corner well - no wet weather experience yet though
Cons: Took a while to ship
Comments: I chose these as an an alternative to a sportier Pirelli option - hoping to get more miles than I would with a set of Corsa's

Pros: On my FJR, the mileage of the Diablo Strada is similar to that of the Pirelli Z6 and better than that of the Pilot Road (not PR2). The performance of the Diablo Strada is similar to that of the Z6 and it outperforms the Pilot Road. It provides much better feedback through the turns and gives some warning as your approaching the limits. The Pilot Roads seemed to step out much easier rather than the very gradual slide that the Strada provided.
Very good wet weather performance, even when approaching end of tire life.
Cons: One of the downsides is that there aren't any wear indicators in the center section of the tire and, if you aren't careful, you'll hit the belts before you know it.
