Pirelli Diablo Corsas is what I've run so far on my 03 and they're awesome tires. I feel the 180s are a lot better for turns. The 190 feels a bit less controlled on the sidewall whereas the 180 just flicks wherever you want to go. Plus, you can't beat being able to wheelie in the rain. I've gotten 5k on a rear but got a nail in that one. I have about 7k on the front tire and no sign of cupping yet. I'm going to try the regular Diablos next since they're almost $100 cheaper.

Thanx for the info. Btw where did you get the pads on the side of your tank? Did you have to cut them? Or do they come in a standard shape?
