I mostly commute, but do like the twisty's whenever i get a chance. I think i have almost 3k miles on mine, and there's a good amount of tread left. Good price too!

I've put over 6k miles on my diablos. The rear stills looks good; There is thread left in them. The one thing I have noticed eventhough there is still thread left, the tires are getting less grippy. Also, they don't get as hot and sticky compared to before. I can probably get another 1k miles out of them. I mostly commute to work and hit the twisties once or twice a month.

That is normal. Heat cycles are bad for tires. The more heat cycles the harder the rubber gets. That is why race take-offs suck on the street.

Youch!!

That's the nice thing about the Powers. They stuck the same as they did when I scrubbed them in until the day I corded them.[:@]

I could have gotten at least another 500-600 miles out of them if I could have figured out how to ride on a constant lean.

This rear is wearing much better since I dropped the pressure.
