Part worn Pirellis on SV?

[jend47]

hey,

i've been offered a pair of part worn pirelli dragon supercorsa pro's for my sv which have been used to test a racing sv at mallory and cookstown...

they look ok to me but i thought dragon's were replaced with diablo's like ages ago... does anyone know when dragon's were discontinued cos if the rubber is old i'm not taking them

back 160/60x17 sc2 and front 120/70x17 sc1 if this helps

on tyres the date of manufacture should be on the sidewall

There should be a manufacture date near the profile size in a 1/2" square box

Dragons are discontinued but there is a lot kicking around

What do you require from a tyre?
These are likely to be cheap as they are used race scrubs, but their life will be short, and they may grip less well in colder wet conditions than a more road biased tyre.
