I actually got 2100 miles on my Pirelli Diablo Corsa III rear tire before cord started showing. These tires only saw the street.

Good god man what the hell are you doing to those things? I get close to 5000 or more out of my Pilot Powers and they have a track day or two on them.

Pilot Powers last a lot longer for me, Pirelli's do the same thing on cars. Great tire for a short time then BLAM...

Yes you are really blessed. That Corsa III is one hell of a soft spongy compound. Normally track enthusiasts will use it a couple of times only. How was the performance on the street?

They did Palomar and Angeles Crest in southern California without so much as a slip.

Here in Texas they didn't get a chance to do as much on the sides so the center took the abuse. Riding here is a lot different.
