Next Tyres

[jamie]

people sometimes understandably get diablo rosso corsa's and diablo rosso's II's mixed up or think they are the same tyre.
Diablo rosso II's are a road tyre, and a good one at that.

Diablo Rosso corsa's are a road tyre but will deal nicely with the track for MOST of us mortals. It's the tyre i would recommend as a good all round tyre. good grip, decent feed back, warm up quickly enough and not the best in wet but certainly not the worst. GREAT tyre

Update on the dunlops, they seem to slide easy when the wind hits me very easily, lots of movement compared to what I thought were crap on the last bike. It could be that the bike turns more sharply as sports bike v commuter bike.

Still only done 200 miles and now parked upish for the winter.

Supercorsa SP work great on track and road but probably best wait for the spring!!

Agree great tyre, but you said it yourself mate, wait til spring and wear is poor because its good !!. still say if you want an ALL ROUND tyre go for the diablo rosso corsa

So what's the verdict on the Bridgestone S20 then, or have I got caught up by the hype?

 

[jamie]

I cant comment mate never had them, will be interested to see if anyones got any feed back.

Hi Dave, how much grip do you want?

As much as I can get, however the rumoured 1,000 life span of the racetecs put me off a little.

Depends on how you ride Dave, its all a compromise mate. I would have the Racetecs on if it was dry every time I went out and I didnt worry about wear rate etc. My Front racetec was like new after 3k but the rear was shot..

3k out of a racetek Thats F"@~ing good going! Most I've got is 1,800 and I'm not as hard on my tyres as some of the others members.

Well I dont accelerate hard from the off, mainly get going then keep the pace up ;D

Need new tyres in next couple of weeks.

Got RP3's on for last 12k miles but want a change.

Decided its either going to be Metzeler Z8 (as per RPs3) or the M5s.

 

[BIKERFRENZY]

Impressed with the Diablo Rosso Corsas at the moment. Good in the wet (well tested) and good feel on the road and more than up for a trackday. So far 2500 miles and going strong.

I did 4000 miles on my Diablo Rosso Corsas including two trackdays, a trip to Slovenia, 4 laps on the Ring and my ACU test but I'll be fitting some Dunlop GP racers when the 016s are done

I had the GPs on before the DRCs and whilst they were slightly better on a hot track on the road you just can't get enough heat into them in our typical weather and in the rain they were pretty deadly. After 2000 miles and two tracks days they just felt dead. Much prefer the Corsas for all round ability.
