is it time for a new tire ?

fmvolume · Dec 31, 2015

Guys , wondering if my tire is up for a change now or not.... i have about 5k miles on them but they're not hard ridden miles at all. I'm a casual rider.

Seriously?

Looks like you're about 50 miles from seeing steel.

If you do twisty roads exclusively you got another 2k

You have enough life left to ride that ...... to the shop and swap the .... out.

I'm used to judging a tire by looking at the tread groove and seeing how the tread pattern is still deep I thought the tire was still good. this will be the bikes first tire change so I wasn't sure with these Supercorsa tires...... should I stick with OEM ?

was being told to go wtih Rosso Corsa for street riding .... anyone have experience with them ?

Not many corners where you live. They are brand new on the sides.

You can throw just about anything on there with a hard compound in the center. that fits

3 years old and your first tire change? Damn...

For street only riding get the Metzeler M7RR. Hands down best street tire I've ridden in 20 years.

I only ride on the weekend and if i'm free and weather is nice and also take out 2 other bikes i rotate through.... so not as many rides as someone riding this few times a week.

Fm, 80Shilling has a ton of experience with Rosso Corsa's. You should hit him up.

I believe that Shilling said that the Rosso Corsa has the same compound on the sides as the Supercorsa SP.

Sides are not going to matter here. Ive seen drag bikes with more edge wear

You definitely need to switch to tire with a harder center compound

80shilling · Jan 1, 2016

I love the Rosso Corsa, as an all around tyre, with enough to center longevity for my commute, but also with enough side grip for seriously rampant weekend rides and maybe an occasional track day, but it seems like you would be better served by going to an even harder center compound than the Diablo Rosso Corsa.

On the other hand, if you got three years out of that tyre, then maybe it would be fine and last yu another three years. The Metzeler is also getting great reviews, so maybe try that.

Cheers.
