I put pirelli diablo stradas on mine and can't complain. More confident on these than the stock Dunlops and I use the bike predominantly for weekend fun. Mainly went for these due to the decent price at the moment and a bit more life than the standard diablo.

First time I've changed boots though so can't offer much in the way of comparison.

My Roadsmarts are lasting well and have been very good trhough the winter. Handling is as good, if not a bit better, than my previous Roadattacks, and much better than the BT020's before them. I'm interested to see how long they last with the dual compound construction.

It's been said that I ride like a tw4t, yet I don't seem to need anything stickier than Diablo Stradas for the road. My ex-girlfriend thought so too, cos she had them on her Daytona 600 when she was doing this
