Got some new shoes on the bike today.
Bought myself a set of track day specials from MCAS.
Spent the morning out doing a bit of scrubbing before the ride on the weekend and just
happened to have my trusty G7 on me so I snapped a few pics under the fantastic blue sky.
She looks schweet Matty   |

Looking good Matty..... Be interested to see how they compare to your old PPs over time (both on the road and on the track...)  |

To put it into perspective on the S4rs fitted with the same tires I was doing 1:48, now on the Desmo fitted with an Ntech front slick and a GP racer slicks on the rear I'm doing just under 1:43 .Taking into account the bike I am on right now that saying something about the ability of the Tires and the S4rs |

Okay after two weekends out on the Pirelli Super Corsa Pro's I can say this.
They are so different to Pilot Power's in the way they behave and grip.
PP once scrubbed in well and with some track use the edge grip feels a little like jelly, not to say that is doesn't grip more so that you can feel the movement of the tyre on lean angle. The tread blocks feel like they are reaching into the surface to grip the road.
Thus far on the SCP's the edge grip is phenominal, the speed of turn in is amazing. I feel like I have my hands on the front axle directly turning and contacting the road. There is some much lean angle to be had you feel like you could get so far over that you'd fall off the bike before the bike falls over. It is true that the shoulder is all rubber (no grooves) compared to PP.
And of course this is what gives such a feeling of edge grip and lean angle. That said I don't think they would be a great rain tyre as this lack of grooved surface would not inspire any confidence.
I am going to book a track day in another couple of weekends, I'll let you know after that what they feel like on the track.
But I can imagine they are going to be wicked having already felt they are brilliant on the road.
cheers
Matty...

Thanks Matty,
I think that the lack of grooves on the side of the tyre will be a hige contributor to the feeling whilst leant over - as you said they are basically soft compound slicks
Having said that, after looking at them on your bike, I'd be a more than a little cautious about wet weather riding - and probably over cautious..... it'd be interesting to know just how much of the tyre you use when in the wet, and I'm guessing that Pirelli already know that and have based the grooves to suit. Still, it would be hard to remove the mental image of theim being as slippery as ice..
It will be interesting to find out how many street kms you get out of them in comparison to the PPs, and whether you would use them for something like a PI 3000km adventure..

Good write up Matty! They look the goods for street and more for track. I reckon they would be great for aqua-planing in a downpour though! weather.com.au is your new best friend! |
