| Get a lot more than that out of Diablos on a 998 but don't tend to can the backside off it on the road.
The only thing I don't like about diablos is the strange feeling of instability you seem to get for the first few hundred miles till scrubbed in, not experienced it wityh other tyres. Feels like the bike is moving around a bit even a fairly slow pace.
One thing to consider might be the sort of road surfaces you are riding on. A good few years ago I started using a particular back road in the car, twisty and fairly abrasive sufrace with chippings, hey presto I suddenly seemed to be going through tyres at an alarming rate, this is on a peugeot 306 1.4 and a vectra estate not a fire breathing turbo nutter special! Changed me route and hey presto no so many trips to the tyre shop.
