Mine were de-hooped at a Honda track night mate - not on the road. Different bike and suspension as well (CBR). No intention of taking them to the edge on the road.
I'm on my 3rd set of stradas now so I know them pretty well. They're much stickier than the dunlops and warm up much quicker. Still have the cartwheel dunlops in the garage.
Hardly scientific...but I rode both CBR & SV on the same tyres all year and the SV hoops were double that of the CBR. Stradas are on the stickier side of sport/touring tyres though. You'll be surprised how well they grip and under general riding you can get them near the edge (10mm) without too much difficulty.
Mind you if you got yours to 5mm having just scrubbed them in then that's brave.
