Michelin Pilot power came 1st in class in the Superbike mag and 3rd overall.I have just ordered a set as the current tyres (that came with the bike)Pilot Race are not good news in this weather!
I have to say that i have also used Diablo Corsa and they were good offering excellent grip.

Whats the difference in warm up times between Diablo and Corsa?Also,which ones better in the wet?I'm on BT 012ss,which i didn't like on the 853,but on the SP5 are ok.Wet weather performance is superb too.

The Diablo is better in the wet than the Corsa, as Tyreman explained it to me - the Diablo has more silica than the Corsa which allows it to offer better grip in the wet. Thats my understanding anyway. I run Corsa's anyway because I ride conservatively in the wet.

Having said that, I found that the Supercorsa's offered a HUGE amount of grip in the *damp* at Rocky while we were there, I was surprised how much there was. BUT, they don't have the tread pattern to clear standing water.
