Looking for performance, length of life.

Tires are super sticky and corner great. Yesterday I took a 150 mile ride to Cooperstown and even in the rain/wet roads I was cornering hard and felt comfortable.

Unfortunately they don’t make the diablo in my sizes. The only one in my size is the Night Dragon.
