I,ve been using supercorsas for a few years now on various bikes.The equation is simple.If you want a heavy bike to accelerate and corner at the same rate as a lighter bike its gonna give the tyres a harder time.I can,t kill supercorsas inside 3 ride days on my r6.I can kill a rear supercorsa in 1-2 sessions on the busa if i,m not smooth.Carry some more mid corner speed and you won,t have to gas it so hard on the way out and your tyres will last.Also pay attention to the 5psi from cold to hot rule.Thats a challenge.
I started with 31psi cold on a ride day and came in with 40psi hot.
This shows what a heavy torquey bike does to tyres.I ended up using 34psi cold to minimise flex.The front 32-33 cold for approx 38 hot.Remember you have to pump them up if the difference is too great and let them down if the difference is too little.Pirelli in my experience have the best cold grip of any semi track tyre but will still dry out faster than a road tyre.As they do just slowly lower your cold pressures to speed up warm up time or you,ll be ditching tyres that look fine far too often.remember their warm grip is the LAST thing they lose,so use it.
