Hi guys, a few questions
1. Has anyone tried a 110 on the front instead of the stock 120?
2. Currently using Michelin Power One (A compound ) but using 30psi F and R
These tyres are sharp in the centre causing wobbles on the straights but awesome lean angles and grip. Anyone with same problem?
Reducing the psi should help but it actually got worse. dropped 1mm of the front forks and it's better. But still wobbles at the slightest bump (having a wobble at 150kmh isn't nice)
Feedback - Pirelli Super Corsa (SC2) is awesome in dry AND wet but due to compound, it doesn't handle heat cycles very well. Hardens after about 3000km (1875 miles) Had to lower the front forks 1mm for a steadier ride. Wet condition wheelies easily achived with these tyres. Had used 2 sets of these after the stock wore out.
Then I tried the Bridgestones BT016 - Sucked big time in the wet. used it for 1 week only (it rains here every other day) Even in the dry, the grove crawls too far down towards the sidewalls giving a slight wobble. No freakin way will you be able to wheelie in the wet with these tyres. Not even in 3rd. Great for those who like to spin it up out of turns in the wet though (not for me - I do it in the dry only... lack of balls for wet attempts... ha ha ha)
So that's 3 sets tyres (BT016 didn't count) finished in 10,000km (6250 miles) and I'm into my 4th with Michelins. Anyone tried the new Pirellis? Any feedback?
