new to Sv, and just about to change the Diablo on the front.
what is main pro`s and con`s of std diablo and strada?
I Know Strada is more touring, but how much more milage would it give to a std,
which is the better tyre in the wet?
grip more important than life within reason, but these sports type tyres just look like they wouldn`t be as good in the wet. sure i`m wrong on this, its just the tread pattern looks a bit slick.

Really depends on your riding. I have two sets of wheels one has strada's the other diablo's I change them depoending on what I am doing

The Stradas warm up quicker and stay warm so when the roads are cool or you are not riding at a pace they are far better, milage is about half as much as the diablo, but when the roads are warm and you are riding hard the diablo is stickier than a sticky thing thats very sticky.
