I've tried both and I've never really reached the limit of the Strada
although when riding in the mountains with a Diablo Strada on the rear and a
Diablo on the front, the rear tire was squealing a little sometimes in tight
fast turns.  It never let go though and I'm confident riding twisties with
the tire. There must be some difference in the traction between the two but
I haven't pushed it far enough to find out.
