Dragon Supercorsa

**Cajun** · 11th August 2004, 07:46

I have been oftered a set of Dragon Supercorsa, cheap 370+ fitted, brand new.
Should i go with these, i do ride in all weathers, thery are from suplus from nz suzuki race team.

I am going to need to replace my rear in after my wellington trip, i can have these put away for me if i do want them for when i need to put them on.

Are these a good tire, i ride all weathers remember

They're a bloody out standing tyre, C. But they will not offer anywhere near the grip your 014s do in the wet.

They'll give pretty good mileage and are the ducks nuts for track days.

Good price.

mmmmm i am very tempted, last time i had pirellis had nothing put problems

Thinking of putting the super Supercorsa on my bike and put my 014 front on the misses bike and get something like an 012 or simlar for her back, get rid of her dunlop 220

Agree fully.

I have one on the front and its great. The grooves don't go all the way to the edge so probably not the best in the wet, but still better than a sports touring tyre when warm and pushed hard through the odd wet patch....eh Jimbo ?

Ha ha ha

He's been a bit quiet since the biff on "his" road too.

well i ride in the wet backwards and forwards to work but its not like i am pushing it lean angels in wet.

Ahhh well better ring the dealer and tell him to put a pair aside for me, for when i want them

now all i have to do is fine a set of irdium spark plugs and i'm all set for my 6000km service

WT - i also have the k4 manual coming, if you guys are wanting it down there

One thing to watch for: these come in different compounds viz.SC1/2?3 which are very soft/soft/less soft. You mght want to know what you're being offered in terms of likely mileage you'll get out of SC1s especially.

But that's a superb price. Just my SC1 120/70-17 front cost over $300 fitted

supercorsas are the bomb CJ! People bemoan their wet weather performance sometimes but its not atrocious (certainly not dangerous) provided you're sensible. Anyway, the dry weather smile you'll get makes up for it! good price too!

**Cajun** · 11th August 2004, 13:05

they are sc1's very soft they are put aside, just gotta wait for this 014 rear to die which be once i been to wellington and back

Cheers for all the info people

hopeful this time i don't have bud luck with pirellis

I think you'd be most surprised with the grip a warmed up supercorsa gives in the wet, the main problem is with standing water and or rivers trying to be roads leading down to kopu. You can't go wrong with them as for problems the only problem i have is that when city riding to work, being so soft they punchture easy and i've been told that it's not that safe to bung them.
Thats a sharp price to cajun, where you score that from?
