Anybody used a set of r3s ?
Thats whats on my ZX10R and I reckon they are awesome. Confidence straight away on warmers, knee down first corner.

Re: The Tyre Thread
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.

Re: The Tyre Thread
Are your BT016s shot? Surely they'll do for a 20 minute wobble behind an instructor?

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

Re: The Tyre Thread

Re: The Tyre Thread
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

Re: The Tyre Thread
Cold tyre pressures for supercorsas sps on track,28 front 32 rear sound about right ?
