Supercorsa SC1s

[Rattler]

Anyone used these on the rear of a Duke?

I've been using a SC2 rear and getting on pretty well with it, (along with a SC1 front), but now need a replacement - I've been offered a good price on a SC1 rear, but how long do these last?

What's the difference in life (track) expectancy of a SC1 over an SC2?

Thanks

Wouldnt bother with SC1s unless your trying to get pole position in qualifying!!!
Most of us will never be goin fast enough to use all that grip, best choice would be SC3 (hard) rear and SC2 front

SC1s will last you a day if your lucky

...I just couldn't get a SC3 to warm up enough last time...it just didn't give enough grip!! These things are as hard as nails and designed to last longer than the bike!!!!

It is a good price for the SC1 rear, so maybe it'll last just for Mallory!!!

I've not tried a SC2 front though - are these OK?

Also, what sort of price should I be paying for a pair of SCs?

Tim, Supercorsa's and Rennsports are the exact same tyre and compounds. Just a different name and tread pattern.

I use the Rennsport RS2's front and rear and not had any problems at all. I've never tried the RS'1 or 3 so can't give any comparison. AFAIK they don't make the 3's any more do they?

Supercorsa Road, are they the heardest of the lot?

just had sc2's back and front, they give plenty of grip, would'nt go for the hard rear, takes a bit to get it warm. sc1, very soft and sticky.
just paid £199 for my sc2's.

I get my trackday tyres after they have been used by 600 supersport guys for a race, i usually opt for the rensports or supercorsas, which always seem to come as a pair of RS1 & RS2 or SC1 & SC2 respectivly, Ive always found them to work well together and cant help thinking if the work on the supersports they should be ok for me, ok the dukes are harder on the rear out of corners but apart from wearing the rear out in one trackday they grip nicely and offer good feedback. Not an exact answer to your question but it may help.

[Rattler]

Adam - where did you get yours for £199?

Bungi - can you get me some of these scrubbed in tyres? If so, how much?

Rattler, i got my sc2s in a bike shop in hertfordshire. Collin Collins. That was a discounted price, and can still get them at that price. Also phoned around, numbers from MCN and got prices around 199 - 210 delivered.

I was getting 900 road miles out of supercorsa SC2's. I'm not knocking the race compunds but frankly unless you are in the spinning up the rear category every time you ride then you dont need that level of grip on the road, the most anyone really needs is BT010's which are still THE best hi sport road tyre and ok on track days, they only lose the plot a bit quicker than the 'hyper performance' road/track tyres out there.
I will be using Rennsports for trackdays:
SC2 front and road compound rear. Same tyre as supercorsa but with a bit less tread and more like a slick. :D
But these will only get you a second or so a lap when really going for it and who gives a s**t on a track day? :borg:

Used Rennsports SC1/SC2's last year on my gix1000 during summer and they are very good, i only paid £179 for the combination.
Will be going back to BT010's when it starts to cool down and i'm even thinking of using a 020 rear.

tim from what I have seen of the SC2's at the IOM this last week I wouldn't advise going any softer, we were runing them on the R6 and found they were good for about 370 miles before they needed replacing. this was 10 laps at a average speed of over 110mph. No tyre warmers were used yet after the decent down Bray Hill they were warm enough to cope with both Quarter Bridge and Braddan Bridge without any problems. we were paying £200 for a set of SuperCorsas fitted and Balanced, for a little more we could have them with the tread cut to the edges, which is the safer option in Damp conditions. Last year a cut SC2 was used on the rear of Weeksys old Fireblade at the TT with pretty much the same results. I don't think the SC1 on the rear would last very long at all.

[Rattler]

.....I'll probably give the SC1s a miss then.

What I'd like is the best price for a pair of Supercorsas - I reckon I've gotta couple of weeks to sort this..

go through the phone numbers in MCN, most of them deliver at no extra cost.

If you fancy having Cut Super Corsas (they look like EVO Corsas once cut) try seeing what John Donnan in Ireland will do them for, he's the guy that supplied ours for the TT
