The OEMs and not OEMs have different letters (or numbers) on the sidewall.

Ill be switching back as soon as I use up the pirellis. I've never taken the pilot road beyond its grip, so I have no need for the corsa. |

Maybe your application of the big twins throttle needs to be a little smoother, youngbuck.

3000 on the original tires on your bike? For some of use, that's 2 months of riding. I've had mine a little over a year, and I'm on my third set of overpriced tires. |

Oh I know that my throttle hand is very aggressive, and I know that leads to increased wear of the rear tire (but saves on the front when its not on the ground ) And I need my tires to grip and work as well. But if I can find a tire that will wear longer for the same or less money and still meet my traction needs, well then why not? The only time I got the Corsa to step out was at the track, last session of the day, about 4 laps left of that session, full lean and WAY to hard on the gas coming out of the corner. I don't NEED that kind of stick on the street. |
