markings on Supercorsa SC's ?
I previously posted this in the Tyres section, but I might get more response here...
I just got a pair of part-worn supercorsa's off ebay. the seller claims them to be SC2 rear (med) & C1 (soft) front. are there any markings on the tyres that I can use verify this? |

Out of interest, how much did you pay!?!? Here you go ... down the bottom (~7 o-clock) of the tyre in this pic http://accelerate.main.jp/wanganjin/image/PC310008.JPG Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 07-05-07 at 08:18 PM. |

Re: markings on Supercorsa SC's ?
hmm .. can't see anything like that, I was thinking more of something moulded in. I paid ~£65+£10 postage. wouldn't be the end of the world if they're road compound. I'll try the thumbnail test against my current road supercorsa's; maybe see if they ride any different too
they're in pretty good nick, look like they haven't been turned, so I'll get 'em stuck on backwards. you'll probably be horrified at that price, but I had a look in the tyre pile at Lydden & couldn't find anything good |

I think the rings are coloured the same as the Labels ... Else there is a good chance you have been ebay conned and just got a road set It is possible to get them not badged as SC2/1 on the tyre wall ... but I'd be more likely to presume they were the road variety ... |

It's also worth finding out how old they are aswell.
If you look round the edge you will see a couple of moulded boxes with each having 4 numbers in them. the box on the right as you look at it with the numbers the right way up tells you when they are made. IT will be week followed by year so a box with 3206 in it will mean the tyre was produced in week 32 of 2006. For road compounds i wouldnt bother with anything produced before 2005 but for SC1/2's i wouldnt touch anything made later than mid 2006. especially as you dont know if they have just been used or have they been stood in a garage like that over the winter? |

Re: markings on Supercorsa SC's ?
Indeed age/date is important too ... as a partworn trackday tyre I'd be happy with 05 or newer unless they had been stored outside or summin!!! I wouldn't feel happy about useing a partworn 03 or even early 04 however - even as trackday tyre!!! Are these x-race tyres or x-trackday tyres?? I wouldn’t buy x-trackday tyres as normally they will have been 'cycled' many times already ... I have taken a bit of a gamble on these:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pirelli-Superc...QQcmdZViewItem If they are <=1yr old they are a bargain, if they are 5yrs old then they are a con!! They should arrive tomorrow, I'll let you know ... Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 08-05-07 at 01:57 PM. |

I'm suprised that they mould in the manufacturing date, but not the compound what does the box to the left mean? I have 'F992' on the front & 'F937' on the rear |

I don't think I have EVER bought a tyre that is less than 6 months old (I am talking new tyres now) ... I just can't seem to get hold of them any younger ... As stated, they do put the compound on them ... in nice colours too!! Here are the rings I was talking about ... http://i19.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/7e/b1/e8_1_b.JPG they are ALWAYS on the SC# tyres ... note: one blue, one green No idea what the F992/937 actually means, I could guess, but then so could you Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 08-05-07 at 07:01 PM. |
