As soon as that tire squares off its trash

I noticed the same thing. I was riding on street and I am very aggressive . Wasn’t able to get more then 1800-2000 miles out of the rear . After about 1000 miles it would feel like the bike just wouldn’t want to turn . Pirelli makes a great tires if you can afford to replace then every 1000 miles . I switched over to the Michelin Power GP . Tires are as good if not better then the pirelli Diablo super corsa sp but last way longer and don’t flat spot nearly as quickly

Buy a set of Michelin’s. I personally recommend the power 5 and now the new Power GP is the Michelin’s version of the Diablo super corsa SP . They provide the same performance , last longer and are cheaper then the pirelli… I’ve had 4 sets now and I will buy them for my new 21 V4SP as soon as I smoke this stock set of Pirelli that came on the bike .

Love these tires ! Great performance and feedback …. I would say better then the pirelli and much less expensive

Have not tried them on the street (Michelin) my garage mate races on their slicks and loves them.
If you think replacing street tires is expensive try racing. I can go through a SC0 in one GTO race, boom 18 laps and a $250 rear tire is smoked.
Typical race weekend I wear through two rears and one front every other weekend. I'm not even a fast guy, them boys rip a rear tire apart about every race. Tire budgets are $1,000 - $1,500 a weekend. ------the cost of speed !

Been there done that my friend . Been doing a bunch of track days just not over the past 3 years . I would usually get a day out of my tires and always had a second set of wheels with freshies mounted and ready to go . Nothing on two or four wheels that’s a hobby is cheap ! That’s for damn sure .

Ok now let’s see how these will perform and last! Shout out to San Francisco’s Desmoto-Sport for the extra effort to bring in the back ordered rear tires from another shop in order to get everything mounted and ready for me within the same day!

You’re using the wrong tire or have bad bike setup if you blow through a tire in 18 laps. A rear tire should last more than a day. Most people that run an SC0 shouldn’t and that’s why they tear the tire up in a couple sessions. If you aren’t that fast the SC0 may be the wrong tire and you are just cold tearing it to death.

I go through a rear SC1 in about 2 days if it’s a grippy track. I can feel a big difference after about halfway through day 2 so sometimes I just swap it then. Fronts last at least twice as long.

Agree 100% though that tires are the expensive part of riding on the track.

Pirelli rear tyres last about 25%-50% as long as any of the competitors tyres, at a higher cost.

I back to back tested Pirelli Supercorsa SC SC1 against Bridgestone V02 Soft and Dunlop KR soft. Was within a tenth of each other (obviously adjusted bike setup for each tyre). The Bridgestone and Dunlop rears managed two days, with negligible performance drop. The Pirelli lasted half a day, noticeable performance drop after six laps, sliding everywhere in the last session before lunch.
The Pirelli was the fastest tyre, by one tenth. So, if you have good tyre budget (and enjoy wheel changes), go for the P.

When I did endurance racing, you had to put a new P in every session, or you weren't racing! B would do the whole race, plus a test day.
When I did BSB, same deal, new rear every session. P fronts are great though, easily as good as the Dunlop.

85+ degree day = SC0 for ultimate grip - Suspension set up through the north easts top suspension expert. SC0 is a super soft compound, the SC1 is a soft compound.
The SCX is good for even less laps, yet I have not tried the tire.
Depending on what bike, track surface you are using and combination of talent (your speed) = the longevity of the tire used.
I run a 2015r, I'm by far not a newbie on track. The combination of the track, me (not the fastest guy) and that brutal power = SC0 tire gone in a 85* day = bye bye tire

Agree 100% on the tire being gone in a day, that’s reasonable, but if you tear one up in a single session would be cause to rethink the tire. Ambient temps are a variable but if you aren’t moving at pace to hold heat in sufficiently the tire will still tear prematurely. Isn’t all about ambient temps is my point. I’ve seen a few riders run an SC0 when it’s over 90 degrees out and cold tear it bad because they don’t carry enough pace to keep the tire heated up to the core.

Maybe i am being a little too humble with my riding pace. Top experts (not track day guys here, race organization, huge difference) to my level of riding all burn off a SC0 after a 18 lap race in Loudon. Probably the roughest track surface you have ever seen.

The ability to prevent cold tears comes down to carcass temperature. If you can keep a carcass to a SC2 flexing and warm you are also keeping the carcass to a SCX up to temp, there is no difference, it comes down to the compound itself.

Never ridden there but yeah if it’s on the very grippy side could see it tearing up a tire quickly. CMP was known for destroying tires quickly too till they repaved it.

We all wish they would repave this place, not only is it an old track but it has some serious hits to it as well.

Desmoto! Wow you're at my old haunt. Those guys are great (most of the time.) They've bent over backwards for me in the past to get it done and top quality.
Once they replaced the wrong head on my 848 - hahahaaa There was a manufacturing flaw in the AL, (porosity allowed water into the exhaust port, shot steam out the tail pipes 40 yards. That was exciting.), so they ended up replacing both heads - I got a full race-rebuild for the price of one head.
Scott knows these bikes like no one else in the Bay.
