Thats not a technical question...I recommend you delete this and try using the search function!!

Technical section....NOT for oil or tyre threads!!!

If someone can't be arsed to read the guides at the head of the page, or indeed bother to introduce themselves, then they are fair game in my opinion.

There's tons of info, advice and opinions in the various sections of this site. All it takes is a little bit of patience and time to read through and see if the question has been asked (and answered) before.
Not exactly difficult is it?

Tyres and oil have been done to death many times over on here. There's lots of info to read.

In answer to the question.......
Diablo's are good grippy tyre very good for hooliganing on twisties and even the odd track day but they are quite soft and the torque of the buell shreads them pretty quick if you ride them hard. (As little as 1k for a rear......some manage upto 3ish)

Pilots never tried them myself but many on hear have and rate them as a good all round tyre that gives good grip and sensible mileage. (would guess they are less grippy / sporty than diablos)
Pilot 3's are ment to have extremely good wet grip.

It depends how, where and when you want to ride your bike......and usually comes down to a trade off between grip and mileage. Unless you really rag it or do a lot of track days I would imagine that pilots would give plenty of grip.
