Which tyres for my 954?
      #28382 - 24/06/2008 13:42

What tyre would you guys recommend(particulalry you journo types who have tried them all)
Its got standard Pirelli Diablos at the moment. My riding is mainly road with perhaps two or three trackdays per year.
Little riding over winter time.
i was edging towards the new Pirelli Rossos or Bt016's. the Pirellis seem to be promoted as a road tyre only though. Is that correct? Would they be out of their depth on the track?
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers

I tried a Superduke the other day on a trackday fitted with the P-Corser 3(i think thats what its called-hard in the middle for road and gets progressively softer to the edges) and I really liked them compared to the Dunlop OE on my own bike(qualifiers).

2CT's, Rosso's would be fine on track to be honest provided you aren't fast group material I wouldn't expect you to run into any problems on track with Rosso's.

I hear varying reports about 2CTs. It seems it's a tyre you either love or hate..and since i haven't tried them, i don't want to splash the cash and then find i am in the 'hate 'em' camp!

Corsa 111's would seem a natural choice as you already know what the harder compound version is like.

Ordered the Pirelli Rossos in the end. See what they are like since they seem to suit my type of riding most of all!
