Never used a Strada, but it's fundamentally the same tyre as the Metzeler Roadtec, which is ace... Should do you at least twice as long, and they're surprisingly grippy. I took mine to a trackday and it took an awful lot of provoking before I, eh, crashed. But that's just silly, for road use they're ace. Better in the wet than many sticky tyres too.
