2ct's or DC3's?
I've done a total of six trackdays on 2ct's and I have always been very pleased. Between the two I'd go with the DC3, from what I've seen it's a better tire, but I don't have first hand experience. I have had plenty of experience on Pirelli, both Dragon Slicks and Dragon Supercorsa Pro's. I like Pirelli. Here's the thing, IMO, Michelin's hold great, til then don't, and they give almost NO warning. Pirelli's don't have quite the same traction, but when they slide they give you plenty of warning and are easy to control. Again, that's just my opinion on the tires, I could be way off base. |

They're great track tires. Use warmers, they're not as happy about heat cycles as Michelin's, and they get tore up, but you will like them. Like I said, I think they have slightly less traction at the edge, but they slide very nice, and very easy to recover. Every time I stick it out there on Power Races I feel like I'm going to highside.

EDIT: I can't seem to find them, maybe they don't make them anymore. You can run them w/o warmers, but I wouldn't trust them past about two days. Or you could get some high-temp insulating material and make your own insulated covers. Take them to an upholstery place, it would be easy and cheap.

How long do u usually wait before u dont have to be too too careful on new tires? 200 miles?

Good street tire, you can run them on the track, but for the money either the Diablo Rosso or Michelin 2ct is a better deal. Last edited by PhiSig1071; 04-25-2008 at 03:58 PM.. |

Or for street riding, gradually increase lean angle throughout the ride until you're using as much as you're comfortable with. I wouldn't just wail into your first turn dragging knee... might be a little slippery.
