I got about 4K out of my last PP rear, but I was running the pressure too high and too much commuting. Ate the center out.

I have over 1500 on the new rear and it looks like it is going to go for quite awhile.

BTW when I am not commuting I have an agressive riding style.

I found myself interested in Pirreli Diablos. They have three styles available and a couple of options good for day to day use.

The Diablo III's look awsome, but since most of my riding is backroad/commuting I don't know if I can ask for more than the Powers Provide.

Besides I like the profile of the Powers. They flick in sooooo nicely.
