Default What tires to buy

Okay just for fun..no need to get into too much detail in your answer.
I need new skins and want to know which of these 3 you would buy. (lots of other options I know)
I'm a street rider who does twisties, not a stunter and won't use this bike on the track.
Thanks

yo mang...
the diablo stradas aren't in the same category as the pilot powers...
comparable to powers would be the diablos.
i've used 2 sets of diablos thus far...gave me the most mileage out of any tire i've tried (yet to try powers)...i have over 5K with 1 trackday on the set...i can't believe it! it is almost toast but dude, longest ever!

next i will see what powers can do.

I have Perelli dragon supercorsa on now..(track scrubs I bought) nice but wore out fast.
I put the strada up there cause my friend (magazine writer) tested them and he liked them a lot
like the old pilot sport when i did my race school but found they didnt heat up so well on the street (maybee im too slow)
Never tried dunlop.

Diablo but not Strada gets my vote, currently running Metzeler racetecs awesome tyre just not for the damp.

I have had good luck with my stock Dunlops 218's. I've had a couple of near slides, but that was because my impatient *** didn't let them warm up at all.... But I have over 5200 miles with tread left. And they hold good for me in the twisties. None of us are really following your rules here, are we, sorry.

if you impressed with 208s...step up to diablos.
i loved 208s until i changed to diablos...now i love diablos...
208s never lasted for me, but i'm hardcore.
