race scrubs

[Jazzscot]

I managed to get my hand on two sets of race scrubed tyres today. Both sets have loads of tread left and have had minimal use.

set 1 is Pirelli diablo supercorsas
set 2 metzeler racetec

Anybody used these brands before and which set do I try out first???

If you use it in winter or in the wet i wouldn't use any scubs.
However if you only use it in the dry as i do stick the Pirelli diablo supercorsas.
I have them fitted they grip very well when wormed up and they do slip when cold and they dont last long.
I get about 2000 miles out a set .

I'm using race scrubbed racetek k2s now. They are mint. Gave me the confidence to get my knee down for the first time ever :-)

they are both excatly the same tyre m8 with a slightly different tread pattern.
pirelli & metz = same company.
theyre even made in the same factory lol.
i love hearing folk say one is better than the other

some say racetecs are better in the wet.... maybe they are as they have a slightly more defined tread cut, but only slightly. ( i use both and cant say i noticed a difference)
neither are ideal for wet roads but they are useable if you remember the road is wet!
if you dont, they will remind u!

first set of supercorsa scrubs i used on the firestorm i got 5700 out of the rear and only changed it when i got a puncture... and i do not hang around lol, used all the profile

one other thing though.,,,, keep your eye out for a set of michelin power one scrubs... a lot of the guys on 600s use them for practice & qualifying.
they are fkin awesome on the storm
seriously i have never used a more confidence inspiring tyre.

i picked up a mint set of 120/190 power ones last night for the sp1 - just as well cos i trashed the racetec rear today round hawes!

2nd That about the power ones
Best dry tyre I've used on the storm
It took a lot to get the rear to brake grip even when cold


Can't ride but it don't stop me trying
