I've ran diablo corsas and am currentley running racetec k2's !,and for me personally,they're the most confidence inspiring tyre,i've ever ridden on,if ure doin trackdays & road riding,racetecs are the boys,no question,but they're not cheap,and i'm not sure about wear either,i've done 2 trackdays,on these,& about 200 miles on the road,& i'm doing Donnington on tuesday,so i'll see what they're like then ! buy sum,whilst the pirellis cum through,you may like them !

If I had a trailer I'd have gone for racetecs they looked superb but was advised by FWR they won't last on the road or reach their operating temp so I played safe...............

Got the Pro Streets fitted (749s) just in time for the Brands GP trackday on Monday just gone. Scrubbed them in the day before. They seem to warm up quickly enough for road use (in the dry anyway!) & offered good grip, etc.
On the track though, they are superb. Nice turn-in + they feel unbelievably stable on full lean. Only problem now - ground clearance! The side stand touched down
It was raining for some of the journey home from Brands. Although the lack of tread doesn't exactly inspire confidence, they were ok for my very gentle ride home.

if its a 749/999 it will happen if you are going well. i touch mine and my pegs down on my 999.
as i was told though thats all your lean angle used up. better perfect those quick turns!
