Tyre wear supper corsa

Check the rear hugger (if fitted), there maybe a possibility a bolt or similar may be just touching the tyre.

 

It's the different compound line

 

Ahh good, when I first collected my bike it had Maxxis Diamonds on which are cone shaped, and when I put a new chain and sprockets on it brought the tyre closer to the hugger and there was a nut that scrapped a groove into the tyre.

Gled yours is more easily explained. Must admit, I don't see those lines on my Metzeler Z8's which are duel compund, but it is a completely different tyre

 

Pirelli describe the Supercorsa as a bi-compound

 

These aren't supercorsa they are rossi corsa. Bi compound and it shows quickly when they get hot but tends to disappear after they have cooled down again. You can be naughty when you see the strip

 

Hi Folks,
Sorry I'm coming in a bit late to this discussion but I just subscribed this morning.
I'm on my third pair of Supercorsa's as fitted std to the Speed Triple R.
I really like 'em. The bike handles superbly and holds the road like velcro.
I ride in South and Mid Wales mostly so see plenty of rain, and despite the near slick tread pattern I have been amazed that these tyres are better that I would expect in the wet (touch wood?)
My main gripe is the wear rate which is 3000 miles max.
I suspect these are a bit "too track spec" for the riding I do, so I am looking for something with a bit more wear resistance.
I see Pirelli have brought out Diablo Rossi III's
Anybody tried these?
They seem to be a bit less "track" than supercorsa's and have more tread pattern so maybe a bit more secure in the wet??
I'm going to try them this autumn as the supercorsa's are already half way down. I sure won't be using them with minimum tread in the rainy season.
Cheers

The closest to super corsa is rosso corsa, rather then the diablo range. They feel just as good on the road with equal Road grip and far better wet weather performance, you usually get about 50% more life from them than super corsa so if your getting g 3k expect 4.5k and they are also quite saving. They are my all time favourite Road rubber along side Metzler m7rr that are also similar in feel with better life.

Hope that helps

 

Great thanks for the suggestion.

 

Don't forget that Metzler is owned by pirelli so if you like the big P then the M is definitely worth a try it's just a slightly different product line made by the same people

 

Ive had the diablo 3 and really liked them , worked fairly well in the rain and felt just like my m7rr which were also good , I got about 3500 miles out the m7rr bit only 1400 out my supercorsas , the roads here in Scotland may be more abrasive ! I am running Bridgestone s 21 just now which are nearly done at 2 k . They are good but easy to take to the edge . I will probably put m7rr on Diablo rosso 3 on next time . I do a lot of miles and like to try different tyres . I must also say I rode a friends gsxs the other day and it was fitted with bridgestone t30s , I was dubious how hard I could push but did never the less and they felt really good .

 

Really useful information having the millage comparison, did you find m7rr squared off or wore equally? Not tried them on the speedy yet but am tempted to use either them or the continental sport attack 2. Its tough as Metzler and pirelli have always been so so good, and rosso corsa are always tempting! It may come down to price in the end.

 

I have found they wore fairly evenly however most of the roads I ride are twisty and not to far from where I live . The s21 had the oddest wearing pattern . ive used m7rr on my last speed and street triple .If I'm honest I prefer the super corsa to anything but only if its dry and the wear rate would be like feeding a drug habbit lol.

 

Agreed. I've done 3 pairs of super corsas in South and Mid Wales which is not a dry area. They are superb in the dry but wear a bit too quickly for road tyres really. I have had no issues with em in the wet but I don't push it in the rain. If it wasn't for the near slick tread pattern I'd stick with em but I have been recommended Rosso corsas as they have more tread pattern which ought to be better in the rain.
