The Tyre Thread

[Perkles]

doesnt look like the Supercorsa SPs are going to be in before the end of the month ,the Pirelli rep who is an x racer has recommended the new Rosso 3s .He tried a pair out at snetterton recently and reckons they are the dogs bollax. Alternative is Metz racetecs
Anybody used a set of r3s ?

Do you mean the racetec K3's?

Thats whats on my ZX10R and I reckon they are awesome. Confidence straight away on warmers, knee down first corner.

yes kiwi I heard they are ultimate for grip but last about 900 miles .I dont use warmers so need something thats going to warm up quickly naturally

They can't be any worse than what you've got

They're recommended for the zx10r. Look like a sports road tyre to me.

Probably a better tyre for the roads than the SC. Don't think they're going to be as sporty as the SC or the Racetecs.

[Perkles]

I am unashamededly a fair weather rider so couldnt give a toss about wet weather performance but want something to give me some grip on track and not spit me off into the trees

[Kwacky]

No racetecs about?

[Perkles]

nope out of stock,I need a set of something for friday its the only day I can get in to have some fitted in the next three weeks

[Kwacky]

Are your BT016s shot? Surely they'll do for a 20 minute wobble behind an instructor?

[Perkles]

I can only get into adison this friday before mallory on the 26th im not bothered about this weekend,bt016s dont seem to be wearing they must be a hard tyre.They certainly dont give any feedback at all and I dont think I want to trust them ragging around mallory for the day

[Kwacky]

Go for the Rosso3 or the m7rr then I'd they've not got SC or racetec

[duke63]

Have they got any Rosso Corsas available? Its half way between the Rosso 3 and the Supercorsa in terms of recommended usage.

another place worth asking is here.

Probably a bit closer to home for you.

If it were me I would go for the rosso corsa's or m7rr over the rosso 3's

Blade use's the rosso cora's on the zx10r and they look a good tyre

[Kwacky]

If you go for the M7RR you get £30 cash back from Metzeler.

[Perkles]

panic over supercorsas just arrived in the UK warehouse ,apparently they were out of fronts for some reason

[Perkles]

tyres fitted scrubbed them in on the way home in a thunderstrom and flash floods ,tight sphincter
nice

[Kwacky]

All sorted in time for the weekend

[Perkles]

Will do a review once I've put some miles on them

[duke63]

Now you can really cane it at Silverstone.

[Perkles]

Cold tyre pressures for supercorsas sps on track,28 front 32 rear sound about right ?
