Depends what you're looking for out of a tyre mate because they're probably one of the best in terms of road and track performance all round in my opinion. Something like a supercorsa or racetech are mega when hot. Ultimately will give more edge grip but take longer to warm up, are shite in the wet and don't last as long. As with anything it's a trade off
Yes the standard fitment is Rosso corsa, which are 1 step down from a super corsa which is also an old tyre but they still perform brilliantly so I don't think age is an issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
But the m7rr doesn't come in a 180/60??? Both the others are still a really focussed sport tyre so just bare that in mind Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
James, Just buy the Supersport Evo's, I'm on my 3rd set now, wouldn't go back to Pirelli's now, see my post number 30 on this thread for more details:- http://ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/tyres-for-a-899.42117/ Cheers, Poucher
The RS is a good shout! Could wait and see how Mcn get on with it on the road. Another option is the racetec rr but that only come in K2 compound rears. Not sure how they would cope on the road
Racetech as said is basically the same as the supercorsa Pretty sure k2 is a track tyre is it not? Which means it's not likely to get hot enough on the road and be shagged in no time from heat cycles.
What @Advikaz said.... K2 is probably a no no, if you want a Metz I reckon the M7RR would be a good shout (I've had M5's and K3 Interact which are a bit older and were both good), do a search for a thread with M7RR in it and you'll get loads of reviews/opinions..
I have and I'm now running Pirelli SC2s now which on the track are amazing but I've had the front wash/slip a couple of times on colder days coz you can't push enough to get the heat in them. I'm changing to Dunlop Sportsmart 2s which I've run before. Good life, heat up pretty quick, half decent in the rain and good enough for me on inters track days
