Tire sizes/tire brand???

Tadydrift · December 8th, 2014, 06:15 PM

Hi everybody, it's a long time i wanted to ask this question and i really need advice on this point.

i used to race on pirreli diablo supercorsa sc2 front 110/70 rear 150/60

and now i just changed to try bridgestone battlax 003 Racing
front 110/70 rear 150/60

the difference i feel is that the bridgestone looks like i little bit wider than the pirellis but there are both ok last time on my bridgestone was not so good. Great lap time but ended with an highside

so i would like to know what each people think about those 2 brands, who thinks which one is better?

thank you very much

the sc2 is way better

You downgraded in stickiness but upgraded in feedback. They chatter like a sob before letting go. It's really fun when you get both front and rear chatter at the same time. lol

I would advise running the propper size Pirelli tires. The 110 on the front is fine and the SC2 is the hot ticket. A 140 for the rear is worlds better than a 150, Pirelli is the only offering of the 2 manufacturers and is supposed to have an SC2 available next year. Although the Rossa 2 is an awsome tire.

I've never ridden pirrelis, so I can't compare, but I had 003s on my 250s when I was riding 8-12 trackdays a season. LOVED THOSE TIRES! They sure as hell flattened quickly in the middle while riding the bike on streets around town, though. Awesome, sticky track tires though!

I had really good success with the Metzlar M5, but it was disheartening to see how much thread was unused because of ground clearance issues.

sc1 front 110 and diablo rossi 2 140 works good for me-i didn't like sc2 150.

If you were to choose between the Bridgestone Bt003Rs and the Dunlop sportsmart alpha13(a13).

Which one would you chose?

Hasn't anyone tried the Metzeler M7s yet?

From what i'm reading in he marketing pitch, it's better than the Rosso 2 in the wet.
