Anyone tried these? I just got some SC1 compound front and rears (yeah soft I know but I only need em to get me through to winter, hopefully!)

Just lookin for any feedback before I fit em. Got a track day at Cadwell fast approaching too. :thumbup
 
I have the Metzeler RaceTec K2's (very very similar)on my bike and they stick like glue.. BUT they don't last long at all!! 1500 miles on the rear and it is cooked... the front still looks really good..

They're totally 'kin awesome mate - but an SC1 rear to get you through to winter? You'll be lucky if if gets you through a couple of track days! - one decent track day if you're fast group.
When are you at Cadwell? - I'm there with Focused on the 24th and 25th June.

ive got these fitted to mine work ok for me
 
I've got them on my duke.

800 miles and the rear is 75% toast :eek:

Suprisingly not scary when i've ridden them in the wet.
 
ive got an sc2 on the back and sc1 on the front, once they r up2 temp they r fantastic! so much grip! but yeh, you wont get much mre that 1500 from a rear.......
 
Gulp..I bought these off a local racer, ready scrubbed for £60...may have been false economy if Im gonna need another set before the end of the year...what PSI you runnin for the road and do they take some time to warm up?
 
i am running 36 psi rear and 33 psi front for the street.. I know people run as low as 30 and 30 on the track..
good luck
 
They take quite a while to warm up properly.

And it has to be a sunny day and "dynamic" riding, otherwise they will only get warm, not hot, as they should.

They work oke on the street(for a race tyre), but it has to be a hot sunny day :), if not, adjust your riding to a slower, smoother pace.
 
I've got SC1 on the front and SC2 on the rear had no probs with mine i think their a bloody good tyre with so much grip,they do wear pretty quick but i can buy 2 fronts and 4 rears which are already scrubbed in and pay to have them fitted for les than i can buy a new set of the likes of 2ct's or corsa III's and the 2 sets of diablo corsa's will last a little bit longer the only down side is you have to be careful in the wet
 
you bought track tyres? erm yeah the only thing with them is that they haven't been scrubbed in in the conventional way, they have been thrashed from new and so the rubbers properties change, they go very soft and very 'loose' so they sort of break apart. my racetecs had been track tyres before fitting them to the rsv and they worked extremely well, but they fell apart after 400 miles. it really is false economy dude....

Hes actually more a road racer.....at the end of the day I gotta run em till they fall to bits now, but to be honest for £60 + fitting who cares...Im gonna have fun whilst it lasts..:thumbup
 
mm fair point. it wont last ya this year though, unless ya dont exceed 60 miles an hour lol.
 
I've used a set of Supercorsa scrubs on the track and on the road for a while - didn't last long on the road though. But at 60 quid a pop you can buy around four sets for the price of a single set of new Supercorsas.
 
i only run supercorsa's on the road never had any problem with them normally go through 3 sets a year and the bike is used day to day

paying £60 like gaz and it still works out cheaper than buying a new set of anything that has the same grip as them
