Goodbye Supercorsa's, Hello ???

[SimJen]

Metz Sportec M1's, last reasonably well 4000k+ and a lot longer lasting than Racetechs. Grip well in the wet/dry and warm up fast.
Last rear was $240 or so from Boyds in Hams.
My Metz. has made in Germany on the side, Pirelli's are made in Italy aren't they.

Pirelli own Metzeler,but they are still run independently,so the racetec and corser are quite different tyres.
I recommend Dunlop 218's,though if mileage is an issue run a 220 rear and 218 front,they'll grip better than you'll ever need on the road,and even hold up well on the track.

I must be a real nana, I got 7000K out of the M1's and two trackdays.

I put a new Michelin Pilot Sport tyre on my bike three weeks ago and 1000km ago, they are now under the legal WOF tread depths.
Thats one track day and a couple of Rimutaka runs.
I'm keen to try something that will last longer too.

I'd agree. Sportec M1's are the go. Great tyre for the road and probably the best value too. If it's just road riding your doing then put these on.

Ok thought i'd post an update. Well after a few km under 5000 the front and rear M1's are completely shagged. Got me a pair of ex-racy reacetechs though. Havn't been able to give them a good fang yet (maybe this weekend hopefully) but so far it's like the bike is running on rails. And i ended up haveing the first go on them on monday night in the wet and they had just been put on. Was a little cautious at first but no worries what so ever.

Will update when i have given them a proper fang but hell if they are like this just tootling here and there i can't wait to get out there

How the hell did you manage that!!! I have only Had the bike 2 1/2 months done a little under 5000km and they are both shagged. Being a poor student would you mind sharing you're secret??

piloet powers get my vote...had em fitted,balenced.etc....$439 front and rear
had another two rears since $250ea...just had a new front on today $195

seems cheaper to buy as a pair!

grippi-est tyres I've used on the road...never tried metz...but tried dunlops/bridg [both not at the same level as pirelli and mich] avon/mich/pirelli

if you don't ride hard...get a deal on just about any top level sports tyre!!
shop around and forget the brand names...just the $$$$

Good lord that's cheap!!! That was $439 fitted?!! Give that shop a bump shout out!

Like everyone else who's tried them, I agree that Pilot Powers are this shiz...but I am keen to try some racetecs one day...especially as Powers do go 'off' on the track after a good string of hard laps, especially if the pressures drop too much (front went off after 3 laps on me once...then realised that I had 26psi in it...ooops).

PM shaun harris [user name: shaun] and see if he'll sell you some second hand tyres off one of the race bikes
