i should add that im hoping to do a trackday once a month if my mrs will let me on my zx750r (92) so not a real fast bike , i will get tyre warmers in time but not at the start of next season , which will be when im going to need new tyres.............

I have historically used racetecs on my ZX10 for track days, mainly cadwell and a few at Donington, Mallory, Rockingham. They have lasted me very well, good grip and even wear. I had my suspension set up and this coincided with me swapping to racetec interacts. Since then I am destroying rears on the right side like crazy. I have done TWO trackdays at Cadwell, both his month this so coolish temperatures and wasted a new rear completely on the right side, the centre is like new....infact it was new!!! I am going to soften the preload off. They are grippy but something isn't right there me thinks.....

You are correct Cronan.......it was M5's i had and IMO they were poor on the track and it was 22+ degrees on the day......in fact i have an almost new front in the garage that will never go back on

I'm suprised! They've had really good write ups, I checked a ton of various forums for feedback before I bought them and as I say, on the road Im really impressed with them, though I'm a fair weather rider so I shouldve gone for the Racetecs but these are great at the mo  B-)

I cant see them in the range any more.

http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/gb/en/motorcycle/sheet/diablo_rosso_2.tab?tab=10

I have the Diablo Rosso Corsa on and used my bike on track at Silverstone recently, I was pleased with the way they performed  :icon_thumright:

Looks like the SC is the new BSB  :icon_scratch:

Scratch that it says Diablo SBK pro any one used them?

Ah fek it there web site is confusing lol...
