Hi,
Just found this on my rear tire. Unfortunately need to buy a new one. Is the 200/55 zr17 Super corsa v2 sp rear tyre the one that I should go for?Thanks in advance.

I put on the 200/60 V3 SP and I rate it. Tips in easier, quicker steering and excellent feel. But a 200/55 would also be fine.
 
I ran nothing but the OEM Supercorsas on my 1199 until recently. I decided to try a set of Diablo Rosso IIIs front and rear. They are a lot cheaper and should wear a lot longer. I have about 2,500 miles on them now and wish I had done it sooner.

I feel zero difference in every respect. We don’t have a lot of great roads around where I live, but I run what we have pretty hard. The chicken strips were completely gone on the rear the first time I rode it.

been thinking about ordering a set of those. thanks for the input.

in the book it lists two front tire choices in the same 120'70/17 one says ducati spec.
Do you know what that is all about?

thanks again

We saw that too, but I must confess that is not what I ordered. Unless you track the bike or do just plain stupid stuff on the street, I cannot imagine not liking these. I run 100-110 mph in big 90 degree curves with the tires all the way to the edge, have not felt any slip.
 
To summarise my question should I go for 200/55 V3 or V2 rear tire(taking into consideration that front one is new V2)?Thanks
 
Have spoken to Pirelli representative in Poland and was advice that it is recommended to change for the same type set of tyres only. V3 are highly recommend but taking into consideration that I do have V2 in front I should go for V2 rear tire too.

I'd say that any manufacturer will say this response every time every situation. But I'd stick with the V2 though simply because i'd rather have my rear tire be one that steps out. the V3 is supposed to have superior traction and carcass design .
 
i don't understand why there aren't more people trying the Bridgestone RS10. They are top of the line from Bridgestone and it's $98 for the Front and $152 for the Rear.

Love them but only last me 2 trackdays now i'm sticking with Q3+ which last 3+ trackdays :D
 
Ive had lots of supercorsas V2 & 3 both 55 and 60 profile. Never mind the wear which is pretty ridiculous if you're on it, they feel very sure footed and suit the bike particularly the 60 profile v3's. Tried M7's- they melt when you push, tried Rosso Corsa 2's which are probably my favourites for general riding. The local bike shop suggested I try the RS's initially they felt good but for some reason not overly confidence inspiring and the other day I went for a ride on my favorite road which is mostly 3rd and 4th gear with a lot of turns and the back stepped out several times on a couple of 180-200k corners. Never had that with Pirellis, I stopped and checked them, pressure is ok about 33 worn to the edge but not over it. Balls of rubber all over the tire which seemed too many compared to the Pirellis. Maybe its just my setup /pressures/riding style but I wont be buying them again, back to supercorsas for me.
 
I also like the Rossa Corsa 2 for aggressive twisties. They are very similar to Supercorsa with added mileage center compound for the street. I tried the Power RS as well because they were great for my MV Agusta F3 800 but on the 1199S I think they are not supportive enough and get outside of the temperature range for the rubber.
