Sport Touring tire input

[yoreese]

I just purchased a new set of Road 2CT's today for my M750 hope they are up to the hype!!!  Is anyone running this combination currently and can recommend tire pressures for optimum grip and mileage?

Thanks,

Maurice

Browsing the magazine rack today I noticed that one of the bike rags (Motor Cyclist, maybe?) had "HUGE!" tire review article.

Mebbe worth a look.

I have been running a set of Pilot Road 2CT's for 3000+ mile and they are really good! I am running 40 psi front, 42 psi rear.

Also, I have found a couple tires I need input on. 

#1 - Diablo Rosso, tell me all about it since I found a place with them cheaper

#2 - Pilot Power HPX.  They're gray and just different.  What are these about?

Thanks!

AFAIK, Diablo Rosso is just a new name on the same old Diablo, or perhaps a slightly updated version.
I haven't seen anything that touts it as a ST tire.

40/42

I thought that seemed high, but when I picked up Syreena (the 900SS) I checked pressure and it was at 41 rear  and 42 front.  I dropped it to 36 rear 33 front, but due to their age, they're not very confidence inspiring.

Anybody with FHE on Diablo Rossos?

Gotta agree with ScottRNelson, the Diablo Stradas are a nice tire - IMO superior to the standard Diablo.  My M800 just feels better with the Strada on the back (std Diablo on the front.)  With the std Diablo on the back, every once in a while a turn would feel squishy and like I'd lost it.  Not so with the Strada, great feel and feedback.

40/42 may seem high, but that is where they work the best.

Currently running Pilot power front, 34 psi.
                          Pilot road rear, 36 psi.
Over 2000 miles on these and counting.
Turns in quick, and feels stable. Have had the front want to walk out on me a few times but nothing worth ass puckering.

I just finished off my Bridgestone BT-014's they were very square!  Hope the Michelin's do better.
