Funny you mention the Diablo Strada's. That's what came on my bike when I bought it (used). I estimate that they had about 50-60% tread life on them, and I managed to get about 3k miles before the threads started showing. I currently have a PR2 on the rear and a Pilot Power up front. There is a definite difference in feel between the Pirelli's and the Michelin's. The Michelin's feel much smoother at speed and have superior turn in charecteristics; in my opinion. I don't have any experience with the PR3's, but I think I will be sticking with Michelins for my bikes from now on.
