i dont know about metzeler tyres but i am running a diablo up front 170 profile and id shredded my rear in 4k miles plus it hydroplaned as im a lead handed 18yr old idiot 0, so i opted for the michelin pilot power 3's and omg what a difference keep traction in the wet and dry under all 100 horses.

really are a good tyre and running with the diablo up front seems to work really well :s. think i payed £140 for a rear or something close to that, but the road is a more sport-touring tyre if your bike doesnt see the rain often get the pilot power 3's stickier but not as good on wear and wet.

oh did i mention people are claiming 8000 miles out of the road 3's yes most people are getting 7-8k miles i hope i do thats almost 2 years of riding for me going to work and college.
