If you are only going to be running street, then I would reccomend the Diablo. The Diablo Corsa is a more track oriented tire (works fine on the street but costs more and will wear quicker)...

Here is an interesting tire shootout link..

And if you go with Diablo's buy a rear and get a free front. promotion runs a few more days I think. Full set of tires for $150 shipped isnt bad.
:iamwithst

I believe the offer is good through the end of this month. I'm waiting for mine as we speak...

I still believe that the regular Diablos or the M1 will give you more than enough grip for the street. I can drag knees all day long on either of them. My only gripe about using them for track duty is they over heat quickly and become pretty slippery...

Vpreatr is a racer and I image rides ALOT harder in the canyons than your normal rider will ever think about doing. If cost is no option, then the Corsas definitely are a better performing tire. I use them on my R6 which gets about 90% track use and 10% street use. My R1 (street only) gets either the M1 or regular Diablo. They fit my needs and are cheaper to replace when the ONE chews them up (as it does every 2k on the rear)...

I've found www.ronayers.com to have the best prices on the M1s... They also have good prices on the Diablos and Corsas ... Whatever you decide, you will love them compared to the stockers...

Stock size (front/rear):

Diablos:
$94.16/$131.92

Diablo Corsas:
$139.30/$158.31

M1:
$83.14/$128.25
