I'm trying out the new for 07 Diablo corsa 3's. I did alot of research on these and they are claiming them to be better than Powers. I had them put and only got about 100 miles on them, but in that short time, I was easily able to remove the chicken strips off the bike. Wet or dry, these are the ****. I know, I know, they are expensive. But to tell ya, if I'm out tearing up the twisties, I don't want to compromise on chinsy tires. I also recommend the conti attacks or the bridgestone BT014 HP's. The problem with the bridgestones is that you will get about 2k miles on the front if your not a wheelie person. Otherwise the tire gets cupped real easy. The rear tire has excellent adhesion to the surface but wears quickly. I only got about 2900 miles on the back.
I didn't buy my bike to ride conservatively all the time. So if you are riding conservatively, they most tires will do the job so long as they are z rated radial tires. But if ya want to ride agressively, having that confidence of knowing you have excellent tires on eliminates self confidence issues.

I use what ever we have taken off at the shop. I haven't bought tire in at least 2 years. As long as you know the characteristics of the tire you can ride accordingly. I know of if I'm riding Dunlops I can ride the throttle and spin it all the waythrough the corners. If I'm running pilots, I just preload the front and hammer hard through the turn. In all honesty I prefer the continental attacks, they are a cheap tire and they last forever.
