You should get the best part of 4k out of a standard Diablo rear; you must be working hard to use up a Strada in 5. (The canvas doesn't start to show until about 8500... don't ask how I know that :smt112 )
Std Diablo's worked great on my Falco, how you get 4k out of a Diablo rear though I don't know. Mind you I've never got more than 3k out of any rear tyre so it must be me

Been thinking about the 2CT's (dual compound right?), wot's the grip like?

Got about 5k out of my standard Diablo rear, but that did have quite a bit of motorway (and did have metal showing :smt009 )

Must try harder!

for me it's excellent on both dry and wet roads, i had a recall on my front and just replaced the rear after 6500 mls which i'm well pleased with.my mate swears by them to on his k6.i do'nt think you would be disapointed if you tried them.
