I guess I'm gonna have to try a set when my new Strada's are worn out. All
these glowing reports are making me really curious.

I just got the new rear Strada in the mail today.  I couldn't pass up the
free front deal.  I compared it to the one on the bike to get a better idea
of how much is left and I'd guess I'm gonna get about 9500 out of it.  It's
got 6400 now.  That's a 50% increase over the Diablo, not bad. The original
front Diablo is still on there and has 13K now, I can't believe it.  It's by
far the longest lasting tire I've ever had on the front, and it's a sticky
tire.  I can't imagine how long a front Strada will last.   It is finally
feathering a little but you have to look close to see it.  There are 2 or 3
spots on the low side of a tread block where the tread is about at the wear
marks in the middle.  I seem to get better mileage than most people on the
list...must be all these straight roads and highway riding.
At this rate, by the time I get to try out the Pilots,  Michelin will have
invented a new tire...lol.
