Based on www.motorcycle-superstore.com, and if you got more than $75, you get free shipping.

$123.99 for 180/55
$93.99 for 120/70

Just personal preference. Pilot Powers pretty much dip into the turn for you, according to Tahoe, the Diablos are more nuetral and give more feedback to the rider than Pilot Powers. I haven't tried Diablos, but I'm going to when I replace my PP's. I say try out different tires, and see which ones you like and which ones accomodate your riding style.

Uhm, they're pretty awesome lol. Past 3 weekends went to Maryland from NY mind you. This past weekend got caught in the rain for the last hour and a half of the trip. And doing 85-90mph in the rain, they felt very stable. That was on the highway, not some backroad with turns in it.

Mileage wise, you can average 4,000-7,000 miles depending on how you ride. My last pair I got 5,000 miles on, and on my current pair I'm at 7,000 miles and just above the wear marker thing. I've put on a lot of highway miles this trip so that's why I'm getting a lot out of it. Made a trip to VA Beach, and 3 trips to MD, so mileage going to those places alone is ~3,200 miles off the tire.

In the turns, the Pilots feel really stable, stick real good, and warm up fast. Didn't take long to break them in either. I broke my friends PP in on his ZX6R in like 5 minutes.

Personally, I've been very pleased with the Pilot Power.
