It still boils down to what KIND of driving you are doing - My Diamaris are nearing the wear nubs at ~30K miles. I'll most likely replace them when I get back to Idaho when they will have ~35K miles on them. The vast majority of my driving is interstate, so Diamaris perfectly fit my driving long distances at high speeds. If I were doing daily commuter driving, I'd probably want a softer ride with long lasting wear (and 4 identical tires all around). The Diamari is also a dry pavement tire, so if I lived in the rainy NW, I probably would look for a good wet pavement tire. Buying a "cool" tire is a waste of $ if it does not match your driving. Remember safety first and Rule #1, "Nobody gets hurt."
