Pirelli Dragon SuperCorsa Pro (stock Daytona 675 tire) vs. Pirelli Diablo Corsa III

For those of you who have ridden on both of these model's, I have some questions:

1) What are the handling differences between the two in wet/dry conditions on the street?

2) Which model has better longevity with moderate to heavy street/highway use?

An inch long screw punctured my rear Dragon SuperCorsa Pro with only 2200 km on it and I'm thinking about either replacing it for $250 or getting a pair of Diablo Corsa III's for $340 from baysideperformance.com.

I don't have any experience with the diablo sorsa III, but I do like michenlin pilot power 2CTs better than the super corsas. I feel like it takes too long for the super corsas to warm up, more of a track tire than a street tire.

From what I have read the diablo corsa III has really good reviews.

The OEM Pirellis are a funny hybrid tire. They are street compound tires with a racing pattern on a street carcass. You can only get the OEM tires by ordering them from a Triumph dealer. If you get Dragon SuperCorsa Pros from somebody else, chances are they will be DOT race tires, and not the best idea for use on the street. I don't know much about Pirelli race tires, but typically you start out with some funky low pressures in DOTs. Their carcasses are usually much stiffer than street tires. I would recommend the Diablo Corsa IIIs over SuperCorsa Pros if the SuperCorsas are racing DOTs.
