    I knew my rear was on its way out, thought I’d get one more ride out of it. Obviously not!

    60 miles in and this happens. Thank goodness for triumph assist!

    Yeah I’m tempted to switch when I wear out the new rear I’ve just bought!

    4000, 2700 of those was a two week trip to Europe. That was about 100 too many!!!

    Depends if you still want a sporty tyre , but the Rosso 2 and 3 are excellent

    I'll stick with the Supercorsa for this rear so when it runs out I'll change the pair probably something slightly more durable. Do love these tyres though so much confidence and grip (and no I don't ride in the wet lol!)

    After the 500 mile service I pulled the super Corsa's off my 765 as I don't class them as an all weather road tyre. I replaced them with Michelin pilot powers. The rear did 3500 and was well shot but not as bad as yours.
    I'm happy with the Pilots but tempted by Metzeler Sportec 7rr as my mate has them on a 675 and after a run they are tacky compared to my Michelin's being warm.

    If you're getting nearly 4000 miles out of the Corsa's and like them then I'd stick with them if I was you :p

    I think the most I’ve ever got out of a Supercorsa is about 1500 miles :p

    2000 miles so far on my supercorsas and appear to have plenty of life left on them. I don’t ride gently either. Hopefully I can get to near 4000 miles on mine

    To be fair (and as you can see in the pic) it was probably due for renewal 500 miles ago lol. I tend to ride hard as well but can only assume the Europe trip which was not a lot of hard acceleration more cruising helped with the mileage.

    See what happens with the next one, going on tomorrow.

    Yikes ! Swapped mine for Diablo Rosso 3's ..... didn't like that extra adrenaline rush of being caught in the wet on the Supercorsa's ! :neutral: So far so good on the Rosso 3's

    The first set on my Speed were about to go that way too I think, though luckily I noticed when pulling the bike out of the garage for a ride so was not stranded out somewhere. Think that was about 4000 miles in, too.

    Now on a set of Bridgestone S21's which seem to be doing the trick - I'm not going to pretend I'm really good enough on a bike to notice any real difference, but they definitely grip well, haven't had any real slidey moments, and seem to be lasting well about 2000 miles in.

    Technically speaking, the last set of Supercorsa's I used only lasted me a day and a half... :cool: Ok, so they were on a Daytona at Jerez, but still
