Just ordered a set of 2CT's
 

CANT WAIT

thanks CEO for sending me that website

a full set of 2CT's (190/55:dthumb:) for 312$ shipped

cant wait for them to get here

Nice dude. Glad I could help.

I went with diablo corsa IIIs and found them for 240 shipped... haven't had a chance to push them hard yet though. Very excited to do so.

Could I get the link kind mentioned kind sir? I'm using pp's now, would give 2ct's a shot.

And let me know how you like the pirelli's, I'm up for a change. Italian rubber on Italian rims can't be too bad. :drool:

Corsa IIIs rock, just don't ride hard in the rain unless you can get them up to temp, I would still be wary even at temp in the rain.

You like them better than pp's? Hows the road feel, warm up time and traction compared to pp's?

I don't ride in the rain at all, call me a pussy but after I wrecked in it a couple years ago I just don't see the point. Obviously it would help my street racing skills like laurence fishuburne in biker boys but I can't afford a busa yet anyway.

Great choice, you'll love them.

I have no idea which tires I'm going with after the stockers wear out :idk:

You got Qualifiers on there? Ditch them and get PP's

I just placed an order with SportbikeTrackGear this morning.

Worse, Bridgestones

My stockers were BT019 and they were pretty sticky but they wore out after 4K I'm probably getting at least 5K out of my PP's

I'm too lazy to google- any idea how long pilot races last? Do they take way longer to heat up than powers? I'm entertaining a crazy idea...
How long do diablo corsa III's last?

DLIT had some PP race for sale... Ask him.

Corsa III's destroy pp's, they aren't in the same level of soft/sticky tire. How they compare to PP 2CTs I don't know, I will find out on my next set of track tires though.

Bold statement, I'll give them a shot. Any good leads on websites with good deals on them? Thanks.

A guy on ebay is where I found the best price. I'll dig up his name and pm you dude.

i just got a set of super corsa i cant wait to put on... and a set of PR

donno, im pretty happy with my PP's. I'll try the CT's when i next need rubber this summer.

I thinking about getting the new Pirelli Rosso's next. Man,it's impossible to keep up with the new tires coming out these days!

DUDE! Where the hell did you get DC3's for 240 shipped?!?!?!? I want a set of those. Bad. TWO magazine did a trackday tire test and DC3's beat out 2ct's, Conti's, hell, even diablo supercorsas and Power Races. I'm running power races right now, and I'm happy with them, but for 240, FUCK that's $90 less then what I spend for one weekend!

As for the 2ct's, you'll love them, I did four trackdays on a set, two at Barber and two at Jennings and they stuck great. Til they didn't, and I lowsided. But I was pushing WAY too hard, 1:29's on tires with four days on them. I've done two days on a set since then and they're great.

i cant wait to get settled in tn and have a good purpose to get 2ct's again

On that note, these are my next tires:

FL roads suck.

The Corsa III's come stock on the 1125R. I like 'em so far, but haven't pushed them yet as there is a lot of sand on the roads.

I've heard anywhere from 2000 to 6500 miles out of a set of III's, depending on your riding style.

its ok, your moving to tn shortly anyways:slide:

Dude, come to MI.. You have no idea what shitty roads are..

still think ND has the worst roads when it comes to riding enjoyment... when it comes to quality of pavement... AK is pretty bad... fuck'n troughs from all the studded tires... they don't ever repave the roads... just patch sections...

I've been to MI... your roads suck too.

Hell yeah they do

MO roads are pretty shitty. Gettin a little better on the superslab, but not the roads that matter.

Unfortunately they aren't being sold anymore for that price. Looks like he's doing them for 270 now.. guy is hpcycles on ebay... user name is HPC395. Here's a current auction:

Here.

they our out for delivery today!!!:rockwoot:

CEO, thanks man, I'll keep my eyes on them, that's a hell of a lot cheaper than Power Races, I just wish they made a DC3 in a 160 for my tard.

No problem dude.

I just did a quick search and found the DC3 in a 160... but only European shops seem to sell them. Around 80GBP for a rear 160/60, which is about 160 US dollars. The shipping would probably fuck you though.

You sure it's not a plain diablo corsa? Or a Rosso? Do you have a link?

Ahhh nevermind you're right, it's a straight up corsa.

Corsa IIIs only in 120, 180, 190 apparently. :cheers:

Yeah, I got into an argument with a guy from Pirelli about a DC3 in a 160.

Yeah, they're being prejudiced against the handicapped tards! :lol:

"they see me rollin' they hatin' "

The guy was trying to tell me that the Rosso would work better as a track tire than a 2ct. The he said I should buy Dragon Supercorsas.

i just got a set of those, got any reviews?

2ct's or DC3's?

I've done a total of six trackdays on 2ct's and I have always been very pleased. Between the two I'd go with the DC3, from what I've seen it's a better tire, but I don't have first hand experience. I have had plenty of experience on Pirelli, both Dragon Slicks and Dragon Supercorsa Pro's. I like Pirelli. Here's the thing, IMO, Michelin's hold great, til then don't, and they give almost NO warning. Pirelli's don't have quite the same traction, but when they slide they give you plenty of warning and are easy to control. Again, that's just my opinion on the tires, I could be way off base.

was talking about the supercorsa's got a sc1 and sc2

They're great track tires. Use warmers, they're not as happy about heat cycles as Michelin's, and they get tore up, but you will like them. Like I said, I think they have slightly less traction at the edge, but they slide very nice, and very easy to recover. Every time I stick it out there on Power Races I feel like I'm going to highside.

shit i need to find some one to borrow them from then, they arent in the budget now

If nothing else there's a company that makes these neoprene tire covers that you can wrap your tires with that will keep them from cycling quite as bad. I'll look around and see if I can find them.

EDIT: I can't seem to find them, maybe they don't make them anymore. You can run them w/o warmers, but I wouldn't trust them past about two days. Or you could get some high-temp insulating material and make your own insulated covers. Take them to an upholstery place, it would be easy and cheap.

just got them installed

they feel pretty good, turn in is effortless

now to get the suspension set up:dthumb:

wow, just took them for a legit ride...o man what a difference over the stock tires...these things really grip when they heat up...its like night and day almost!

How long do u usually wait before u dont have to be too too careful on new tires? 200 miles?

Someone give me the low down on the plain Corsa's.

It's not necessarily mileage. Just be careful when you take it out, be very gradual in your lean angles, and be careful with the throttle. You'll be fine after about 50-100 miles.

Good street tire, you can run them on the track, but for the money either the Diablo Rosso or Michelin 2ct is a better deal.

1 lap.

Or for street riding, gradually increase lean angle throughout the ride until you're using as much as you're comfortable with. I wouldn't just wail into your first turn dragging knee... might be a little slippery.

What other tire would you compare them to? Are they as sticky as the regular Pilot Power?

Yeah, I would say they're probably comparable to the regular Pilot Power. My opinion on Pirelli vs Michelin, at least with their track tires, Michelin's have better traction, but when they let go, they're pretty much gone, with very little warning. Pirelli's don't have quite the same grip, but when they let go it's very predictable and you can tell it's coming.

My new rig has Corsas on it...brand new...like 50 miles on them. I'm used to Pilot Power...which will most likely go on the new rig when I tear the ass of the Pirellis.

I tore through my Diablos like a fat kid through a Dairy Queen ice cream cake... My 2ct's seem to be wearing slightly slower... Road 2's are next.

The Road 2's will work well for you. There was a guy at Barber on an FJR on roads.

I love my corsa's!
Granted, nothing but the stockers on the SV to compare to though.
They grip, i've even had the 1125 leaned into a corner on cold concrete and hit a patch of sand. The recovered nicely with just a bit more lean. I'm confidant i could drag the pods on that bike before the tires let go!!

not sure on milage, I've heard anywhere from 1600 to 6500 miles on them, all on 1125's. depends a LOT on riding style.

Give me that bish for a weekend, you'll be lucky to get another 100 miles on the sides. :rockwoot:

thats what i was thinking after going threw a set of 2ct's over the course of a couple of weekends...

im pretty pleased with them so far...

WISH IT WOULD STOP RAINING!!:rant:

Just ordered them, $296 shipped. I'll probably pay near that much to have them mounted on the march's at the ducati dealership. None of the local jap bike shops would guarantee they wouldn't fuck them up during mounting.

That's still a good price, just not quite as good as he was selling them before. Glad I could help you out, either way :cheers:

Here's about the cheapest I've been able to find Corsa 3s. At least for a 190/55.

actually here. free shipping too.

still on the fence on whether i get 2ct's or dc3's for the gap. only fucking thing that bugs me is im gonna super slab it at least half the way down there, im not thinking 400 miles is gonna box out my tires too bad though. 2nd half down im gonna take the byways and try to get them broken in properly, cause odds are i wont have em put on until a week or 2 before the trip.

Run the PSI's on the high end for the slab portion.

didnt even occur to me, you are the man.

Yep, that'll help.

Either tire would be a good choice, you might like the DC3's better or you might like the 2ct's better, I'd say find which ever set you can get cheaper and try them out. If you're not happy, go with the other set next time.

Check here for good prices on Michelins: www.sportbiketrackgear.com

2ct's, on average, are already cheaper.

ive ridden PPs and loved em, but heard great things bout the corsaIII's. i may just flip a coin.

www.tireexpress.com is even cheaper than SBTG.

But yes, powers or 2CT's will be cheaper than Corsa III's.
And probably wear longer too...

I might go back to the PP's after the Corsas are finished.

I can't afford 3 sets of tires a year... so i'm going more sport touring.

You knew what you were getting into when you bought that bike.

Yup, but i thought i'd get more than 2K out of a set of Corsa's too... :idk:

oh well, i'm sure road 2s/Stradas will still handle well

What pressure are you running?

34R 32F

Thats close to what I'm running right now. If I only get 2k out of them, I'm going back to regular Pilot Power. I had almost 5k on those...and they are good for a couple more.

best anyone on badweb has gotten was 6K... and that was in the cold and sandy roads, so a lot of slow riding.

average seems to be around 2- 2.5K for the rear. about 3 for the front

I may try pumping them up a bit for the commuting.

like 38R 35F or so...

hell i run mine around 38-35 and i've never had problems. felt awkward as hell when i went down to 36-34.

big twins eat tires, get used to it im toying with the idea of running a pp2ct in front and a road 2ct in the back should bump my milage alot

That second one is a great price... 270 shipped. Very good.

300 shipped for me, but still pretty damn good.

I got my corsa IIIs for 240 shipped. The guy isn't selling them at that price anymore though. This was a couple months back.

270 for the 2ct's also, thats some good prices
