Post subject:  Looking into some DOTs
Been running DCIII's so far but im picking up pace and think after i burn this set up im going to upgrade to something a little more sticky. I was out at the beave with the fastrax group for my first trackday since iv been back from iraq and i ran with a guy for a session who clocked us in the 11's with his laptimer but i was almost lapping him by the end of the day. But either way looking at the trackwhores trend with DCIII's i figure its better safe than sorry to upgrade. I know alot of you guys run different tires. What do you like and what do you think i should check out? Also include typical prices.

i've run both diablo and dragon supercorsa pros - sc1/sc2 combo with both.
i'm not sure if the newer diablo stick much better than the dragon but it does seem to hold up better.
hard to compare since i ran diablo's on my SV and dragons on the gix and 675 but i managed like 5 days out of the diablos and dragons are pretty scary looking after 3.

i think the biggest thing is to find something that works for you and there's a good supply off at a reasonable price. i'm pretty anal about my suspension and changing tires does some interesting stuff to the rest of your set up. sometimes you can change brands/models and just go, other times you'll feel like your bike just went from being increadibly well set up to being a mortal hazard.

new power ones, d209's, supercorsas, race attacks, etc. pick one - they are probably all more than enough tire for any of us here.

I think i might give the michelins a run and see how they workout. What about the power races? STG has the power race rear/ power one front combo. Any thoughts?

probably try to stay with Power Ones if you are gonna try Michelin. STT I'm sure will have Michelins at CMP.

not to contradict mike, but i thought i heard the PR rear/POne front was the combo to have because the POne rear wasnt as good..

feel free to contridict me, I've never run Michelin DOT's so just passing on what I have heard - what I keep hearing are rave reviews of the PO's and crap ones of PR's :moon:
