tyres for dry weather only ?

wanting to try something other than the storms, more sporty

Supercorsas

I have Dragon Supercorsa Pro and they are immense in the dry. I think they're now Diablo Supercorsa.

Be warned though, they take a bit of time to get warm and if it's damp or wet they are a bit twitchy if they're cold.

Avon vp2 and you can get a set for £170 got around 4000miles out of the rear, got a set of BT003 to go on now so I can compare but I was extremely happy with the vp2 and would happily use them again.

Supercorsa's or the new Dunlops. Metzeler Interacts are good too. I got 5000 miles out of a rear Supercorsa on the SV.

Pirelli Supercorsas, £30 quid off ebay mid month (scrubs) i think typical mileage is 1200 miles.

Sportsmarts if your needing something with a bit of damp/ wet grip

I tried earlier one, viper sport, and was not keen. Not often I don't like anything about a tyre.

No idea how! Mine seem to last about 1000-1200.

Woa that's some low mileage. When I used to work in Cambridge I was doing over 2500 miles a month. I've got perelli Diablo something or other on mine a the moment. The rear is a bit square at the moment but still got some life left. I want to wrap the bike in Avon Viper Sport 2's next. Only beacuase there recomended by JHS in Bristol and I don't know to much about tyres yet.

Anyone got any idea of mileage with either the VP2 Sports or the Supersports?

Bald ones?

Although the rear sticks like glue in the wet, the front ain't too bad considering what folk say about them. I get told so much about how poo the VPs are, and should have XYZ on my bike instead.


maybe its just I'm a riding god and can perform well on whatever tyre I've got underneath me, wet or dry

I think Barwel is turning into a southern poofta shandy drinker now he has a car Dry tyres indeed!
