    Rear tire wear question

    So I did a trackday at Lightnight on Monday and had a brand new Supercorsa SC2 on my 1199. The tire had never been used. By the end of the track day it looks like I won't be able to pass tech inspection for another day. The rear really got shredded! I guess I was just wondering if that was...

    So did Ducati design this bike (1199/1299) to handle best with the 200 rear tire?

    I'm just curious what the racers or track day guys have found here. Do you have a better foot print at full lean with the 200? Do you feel the 200 makes turn in more cumbersome? Is the 190 the preferred tire when using it for track?

    Track-day Riders: Tire Warmers - What Rubber to use?

    I ride my 1199 predominantly on the road; however, during 2014 I was fortunate to get to the local track (3 hrs away) for seven track-days. Seeing my enthusiasm for track-days and photos of my knee-down escapades, Santa brought me a set of Chicken-Hawk Tire warmers "out of concerns for my...

    Hey Guys! Going to the track tomorrow... Looking for a new set of tires because the Q3 rear ( specially ) stared to spin a lot. What kind the tires you recommend? I'm running in advance. They have a Michelin truck to set the tires at the track and I was thinking to try it out. I don't have...

    Tyre (Tire) predicament

    Ok... I guess I should be prepared to get flamed here...but here goes...:) Living in Texas means that finding nice roads on which to ride means traversing some slab to get there..... now I don't currently have the luxury of a trailer... so a lot of miles on my tyres are of a "touring"...

    Nail in tire

    So I got a nail in my tire tonight. Ducati roadside assistance worked out good. Tow truck got me in about 30 minutes. Anyways, I'm thinking patching it is a bad idea and I should get a new rear tire put on. Anyone have an idea how much this is going to cost me? Do I have to get a new front put...

    Quickly: what tire pressures do you use at 30' or less?

    I'm getting a bit loose at 33-30. Would not lower pressures help heat the tires up quicker? Recommendations appreciated Thanks

    Finally A New Rear Tire Other Than Supercorsa SP

    I hope this isn't a repost. But I found the Michelin Power Supersport in 200/55-17. I bought a set for my S1000RR from this company last summer, so I know it's not a scam. These are the replacements for the Michelin Power One Commercial. I like them, and I like the price. By the way, I have no...
