| Post subject: | Looking into some DOTs |
Been running DCIII's so far but im picking up pace and think after i burn this set up im going to upgrade to something a little more sticky. I was out at the beave with the fastrax group for my first trackday since iv been back from iraq and i ran with a guy for a session who clocked us in the 11's with his laptimer but i was almost lapping him by the end of the day. But either way looking at the trackwhores trend with DCIII's i figure its better safe than sorry to upgrade. I know alot of you guys run different tires. What do you like and what do you think i should check out? Also include typical prices. |

i've run both diablo and dragon supercorsa pros - sc1/sc2 combo with both. i'm not sure if the newer diablo stick much better than the dragon but it does seem to hold up better. hard to compare since i ran diablo's on my SV and dragons on the gix and 675 but i managed like 5 days out of the diablos and dragons are pretty scary looking after 3. i think the biggest thing is to find something that works for you and there's a good supply off at a reasonable price. i'm pretty anal about my suspension and changing tires does some interesting stuff to the rest of your set up. sometimes you can change brands/models and just go, other times you'll feel like your bike just went from being increadibly well set up to being a mortal hazard. new power ones, d209's, supercorsas, race attacks, etc. pick one - they are probably all more than enough tire for any of us here. |

I think i might give the michelins a run and see how they workout. What about the power races? STG has the power race rear/ power one front combo. Any thoughts? |

not to contradict mike, but i thought i heard the PR rear/POne front was the combo to have because the POne rear wasnt as good.. |

feel free to contridict me, I've never run Michelin DOT's so just passing on what I have heard - what I keep hearing are rave reviews of the PO's and crap ones of PR's
