I've had the opportunity to sample various tires over the years, ranging from BT015's and others, Pilot Pures, Pilot Power 2CT's, Pilot Road 2's...and recently Pirelli DRC's.
While I love the Pilot Power 2CT tires, I cannot express in enough words my total satisfaction in the Pirelli DRC's !
At just on 6,500 miles to date (~10,000km), the middle of the rear tire is borderline legal, with extremely even wear from middle to either side evident, as marvelled by several bike service centres recently. These tires (DRC's) have provided me with immense confidence both in the dry AND the wet.
They provide quick tipping-in to corners with supreme levels of grip. On a recent interstate ride, they displayed great handling qualities with VERY spirited riding in standing water conditions, heavy showers and uneven, bumpy road surfaces - the latter unplanned, of course !
I cannot recommend these tires enough and very shortly will be replacing these with the same brand. Congrats Pirelli on producing a magnificent tire.
