Roadsmarts are good. I am trying out the new Pirelli Angel ST. I've been researching them and I'm finding that most people like them a lot more than the Diablo Strada as far as wet riding, traction, etc. The only con is they wear a little quicker. My Strada's I was getting 8-10K from and Brandt, you've seen how I ride. That was all on the Strada's, they are an excellent tire. Also don't forget about the Michelin Pilot Road II, they are an excellent tire and will get good life.
