tire

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?

Today, was the first day I didn't ride the pani, come home and find the rear tire flat, nail in it. Sucks, still had a couple k miles left in it I know. Good thing is I had a set on the wall ready to go. So changed out the rear and ready to roll.

For those that use warmer's at the track, which ones are best suited to the OEM tyres? Elastic sides or no elastic? Digital or non digital? Reliability? After some recommendations from fellow panigale owners! Perhaps you dont think warmers are even needed? I'd love to hear your arguments...

Does anyone know the recommended tire pressure for track use on the 120/70 and the 200/55 SuperCorsa SP's? I have searched the net and 190/55 is the largest pressure chart. Like to hear what people are running on the track, and the canyons. Thank you.

Went to the track Sunday and when I was looking over the rear tire I noticed something that I hadn't seen in my past track days(on other bikes/tires). I have a weird star or christmas tree light pattern on the side walls of both sides. The wear pattern on the carcass of the tire looks normal...

I just had new tires put on yesterday after approximately 1750 miles. This is the first bike I replaced the front and rear at the same time. Normally I would replace the front every other time I replace the rear. Front was worn to the wear indicators , rear was worn past them. Bike was...

I have my own tire changer and have changed tires on previous bikes but never a Ducati. I have been doing a bit of research on it but I have come across some additional tools that I haven't needed before. Are these necessary for the job: -Front Axle Drift -Front Axle Alignment tool I...

Found this on sportbike track gear, recommended tire pressure ranges in the supercorsa

Just a quick question. Giving the chain a clean up today to get off all that factory muck and somehow - even though I had taken precautions - I got a load of WD-40 on the rear tire. I absorbed it up straight away and then washed the tire with water and rags. Tire appears good but anything else I...

Anybody done it? The 200 seems like overkill for the road, and a 190 would be lighter. I know it will fit; but will it affect the performance of the traction control.

Anyone know what is the correct and recommended tire pressures (for street use) for the OEM Pirelli Diablo SuperCorsa SP tires on the Panigale?

So the manual says that tire pressure should be roughly 30.5 psi in the front and 32 psi in the rear. However, today I noticed that the tag on the right side of the bike that contains the vin number says 33.4 psi front and 37.8 psi rear. Does anyone know why there is this discrepancy? Also...

Just looked at the 1199 specifications... the bikes come from the factory with the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP. The front tire is a 120/70ZR17 and the rear is a 200/55ZX17... wow, that's going to be a big rear! I already want to swap the rear out to a 190/50!
