Diablo's/ M-1 same same, Same rubber, same factory, different tread pattern, though in hindsight I would probably go with the Diablo's because I get a lot of noise from my M-1's. Unless the Diablo's are alot more expensive. If the Pilot Power's had been in stock, I would have gotten them. You figure the Diablo/M-1's are what 3-4 year old technology almost? The 014's and the Pilot Power's are fresh designs, using the most modern construction and materials, both designed for heavy, High power bikes. My next set of tires will probably be the Pilot Powers, we'll see. I like the M-1's though so maybe not but I cannot stick with one tire and say it's the best until I have tried the other newer stuff.
BUT, Cecil...Bro... You put anything soft back there with all of them wheelies and your going to burn through a rear every 2000 miles or so easy, (Guessing)... So, I dunno if there is a tire rated for what you have been doing to em'.
Might want to stick with something from Bridgestone like the 014, 010... At least they are a fair bit cheaper than than the Metzler/Pirelli option. Oh and maybe buy a second rear wheel off of E-bay and have a fresh rear ready to go for ya? That way you can get your tires changed at your conveniance without downtime. I've been meaning to do this for awhile...
Though you really might want to give the Knobbie's some more consideration...
