How do you determine what your proper pressure should be? After running them on the road for a period of time. My friend suggests just like they say at the track, that you should allow for about 15-20 minutes to warm up, when you stop, put your bare hand on the tire, temp should be roughly 170...

Back when I had my StreetFighter I was going through two rears by the time the front tire needed to be replaced. However, with this bike it seems to be the other way around, the rear tire is still in dissent shape, but the tread on the both sides of the front is almost gone. I did have front and...

I know we have alot of threads on this already.....but I wanna focus on jus street pressure not jus all around....and I'm not talking about track pressure at all....any help for the best street pressure?

Hey ya'll...I wanted to ask, for someone that like's riding aggressively on the street and will do a few trackdays at a medium to above average pace, what street tire would you recommend??? I'm trying to decide between: 1. Diablo SuperCorse SP 2. Dunlop Q3's (since now available in a...

I am getting some conflicting information, I just ordered a set of BT-003rs for my trackbike. They are a street/ track compound, NOT DOT race only. some say you should use tire warmers with these, others say it is harmful, what do you guys think?

Brand New Tire for sale.....only because I bought the wrong size smh

Is anyone doing this? I'm debating getting these wheels but I run slicks with Capit warmers. Its either this or the lightest magnesium I can find.

I know there are other good threads for tires but none really spell out exactly the options and pros/cons. I'm a rookie track day rider and am fixing to burn through my first set of tires. The supercorsas are great to me as I don't have much to compare them too but I'd like to switch them out...

I was looking over my R today and it appears that you cannot fit tire Warner's under the front fender. Also, there is an ABS wire under there. Has anyone modified this to fit warmers or tried putting warmers under there with the wires. All the press launches at tracks had the bikes with warmers...

Anyone know what I expect to pay at my dealer to swap tires? I dont have stands to remove the wheels myself to bring to Cycle Gear, so I will just take it in. Thanks

For those of you who change and balance your own tires, what tire balancer do you use that will work with the rear tire (single sided swing-arm bias)? I currently have a tire balancer that I use on my honda, however, the cones do not fit the rear tire of the duc. I have been looking for...

I just traded in my 2006 999s for a 2012 1199 base model. The bike is amazing and I'm looking forward to doing plenty of trackdays on it this year. However, it looks like the front fender is so close to the tire, that it will be an extreamly tight fight for my Woodcraft tire warmers. In...

I had picked up a set of Ducati Performance Tire Warmers once upon a time that I never used. The documentation says they will fit a 180/190 17" rear. Does anyone know if these will fit the Panigale's 200/55/17 rear? I would just try them out and see, but I don't want to take them out of the...

Has anyone heard of even the littlest rumor about other brands making 200/55 tires? I'm not debating the performance quality of the current Pirellis. I just want to see Pirelli get some competition so the prices might drop a little bit. Or see if other brands can make a competitive option. I...

Wondering if there is a street tire pressure chart for Pirelli Supercorsa SP

Hello Everybody, just a question on the pressure of the rear tire. I usually ride at 36psi. On first service I told the dealer to check the rear tire because I've already had low pressure issues and they replaced the valve. Today I picked up the bike after 2 weeks and when I checked the...

My rear tire has a "slowish" leak. At first I thought the dealer just didn't inflate correctly, so set it at 28psi. Seemed ok for awhile as I check before I ride each time. But, I went away for a week and got back yesterday and checked and it was 10psi. Filled it to 30psi last night and this...

Was just checking out a few sites and noticed continental offers a new tire option for the 1199..http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/continental-sport-attack-2-tires

So, how many of you guys are using $9.99 tire gauges they got at walmart? These guys sell a superb range of tire pressure gauges and every price range, I bought from them a couple years ago (model 53055). As critical as tire pressures are on bikes it's money well spent. I note they even...

What's your favorite tire for your 1199 and why? I'm not looking for a tire bashing thread - just what you prefer and why? Do you choose one tire over another when the conditions change or do you ride the same brand year around?
