And they take longer to warm up than PP's

Did someone mention a sale on Diablo Rossos? Where would I find said sale?

True. But they're solid when they're nice and hot. I only use them for the street anyway and they handle what I throw at 'em, like some nice, 140 mph sweepers on Saturday.

I wanted Pilot Road 2's when I was due for tires. I was told by a few vendors that the were on "indefinite backorder". I ended up going with Pilot Power 2CTs.

The RC is shod with Pilot Powers right now. Once I get my spare rims straightened the I'll toss some Pirelli's on them and see what those feel like. It had abused battlax (sp?) tires on her when I first bought her, but I'll reserve my opinion for later because I've had a lot of repairs to do. I'll post up back to backs of the Pirelli's and Michelins next year when I get both sets of wheel back and with decent rubber on them. I don't ever expect more than 5k out of a set of tires on the RC.

The VTX gets Dunlop D404s iirc and they last about 13k miles with how I ride.

I've got Dunlop Qualifiers on right now... they'll stay until I make it up to TN before the rally... gonna throw some Powers on I think.
