tire

Ive got the stock supers on my 1199 and the rear is getting a little more squared off than i like so i want to replace it. Ive heard you can typically get 2 rears for 1 front but have no idea how to tell if the front is still good. It still has decent tread and no squaring. Im not sure if i...

A great article from the man himself - Dave Moss!

Went for a ride this morning. When a came back I noticed a small piece of plastic in the rear tire. Looked like a piece of a light tail. When I pulled it out I saw this. I know when in question just replace the tire but want to get the rest of the season out of this tires. Just want to see if...

Went for a ride this morning and when I pulled into the garage my eye caught this in the rear tire. A small piece of plastic looks like it from a broken taillight. http://ducati1299.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19287&d=1470616195 When I pulled it out if left the mark I know...

I'm slowly evolving (old but still capable of evolving)on trackdays. I've been running on Pirelli SP2s unwarmed but don't ride on the street other than in winter around the community to avoid storage issues. I'm slowly waking up to the fact that I need tire warmers and the means to run them...

Hey guys, I'm considering moving from Pirelli Supercorsa SPs to the Superbike slicks, but the rear tire comes in 200/60 not 200/55. The manual is very specific about the tire size and the traction control system. Can any track day-ers/racers comment on their experience with the system and...

Hey Guys, Prepping up for my first track day at Laguna Seca (yes, I am very excited). The tire vendor there is a Dunlop vendor, and I'm thinking of throwing some DOT "slicks" on (I forget the model), or some race slicks. Some questions: 1) I have Supercorsa SP's on the bike with maybe...

This is a question to all of you who have an 1199 and have used the Dunlop Q3's... I just crossed 4000 miles on my year old, 2014 1199. My front tire has no tread left on the sides. The funny thing is: on my old CBR900RR and my GSX-R1000, I used to wear out the rears before the fronts. I...

I've been looking for tires that are geared more for road -- dry/wet grip and tread life being the key things. The Commander II tires are among the few I can find in the 200/55/R17 size; would this be a bad match? Could I go with a 190/55/ZR17 size, and just run the Tire Calibration...

Hi all, Can someone please recommend some good quality (and reasonably priced) tire warmers for track days? Thanks Al

Hi Fellow lucky devils!! Owning a 1299 is being part of a special breed. I just got done speaking with Dunlop customer support and thought I will share this info with all of you. They recommend NOT using the 200/50/17 Q3 on this bike. The engineers tested this tire on the bike and it was...

Hello fellow crazies, I just picked up a 1299 base and extremely impressed!! I am planning on using the Dunlop Q3 and wanted to find out if folks have used the Tyre Setup calibration feature and if any issues with the system recognizing the Q3 as an acceptable tire. Would hate to...

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.

so 900 miles later after a glorious 4 day trip My tire is past its wear marks What's your experience on how much longer I can use them

Hello all, My new-to-me 1199 came with Michelin Power Cup tires. Both the rear and front had 2" chicken stripe on either sides. Apart from having like new side walls, the front tire looked like it had 90% tread even in the center. The center portion of the rear however was ruined by...

Hey Guys, My great luck and I got a nail in my tire with 2000 miles on my rear. After checking the price on the Corsas and seeing that they are expensive as ...., I was gonna try the Bridgestone RS10s. Anyone ever try them. Keep in mind I don't have twisties, the bike will never see the...
