what kind of milage can you expect from the pirellis
Not sure since they are brand new models. On the previous model Diablo Corsa, I had them on my R1...did a couple of hard trackdays, about 1500 street miles and they still had plenty of life on them...but I sold it before I could wear them out.

On either Pirelli tire, run 36psi rear and 32psi front for both street and track.

I did not like the profile of the front tire on the Michelins, and they cupped badly very fast. The tires are a bit odd circumference wise as well. I decided to go with the M3's. Love them so far. Great in the wet, super sticky, nary a wiggle if pushed. I'll do them again. Mine are fairly new, about 1500 miles... so far they look great as far as wear goes. But then, I got 4500 out of my Pilots with pretty much even wear all the way across the tire.
The M3's are great tires too. The Metzeler/Pirelli company has been producing some great rubber lately.

Geof3...did you get that brakeline info I sent you?
