Gather around kids, Z3n's gunna teach us how to use rubbers  Dragon Supercorsa 3 Pro's came on my KTM 690 SMC and I can't rave about the stickiness of these babies enough. Last set of aggressive tires I used were PP CT2's, which are also excellent tires. Id say the Perilli's are noticeably more confidence inducing, with the downside that they seem to get used up and square off much quicker than the CT2's. 2 cent review. They make awesome supermoto street tires. Also anyone looking at semi offroad mainly street tires for 17", considering Avon Distanzias (SP?) should go for it. I slapped a pair on my DRZ, sticky enough to drag hard parts on pavement, quite fun in hard pack. Slick as hell in mud but what do you expect. I would run these all the time on a DRZ and am probably going to throw a set on over the winter on the KTM to deal with the rain and mucky roads.

I thought everything shinko ever made was complete and utter poo poo. I've heard that their slicks are likely to get you killed.

Sumo approved: Contiforce SM tires. Very happy with these sticky bastards.

I can't imagine a 250 getting that gnarly in any conditions... Be careful in the wet, the rear might wiggle if you do a big dumb drop-the-clutch downshift when its cold out, but other than that just take it easy and don't go for knee down in the cold and you'll be fine. It's not like you are going to light up the rear under acceleration anytime soon.

Pilot Powers and the sport minded 2CT's are among the really great tires you can buy for a supersport or superbike. Without question they are awesome everyday and spirited riding tires.

Wow, that's nuts. Which tire guy was it? The Dunlop guy is good but isn't nearly as good as KFG. Though since they're a Pirelli shop now they'll probably say... ride the Pirellis. Did you do that at Ridge? Did you drop into the high 140's or something? Surprised to see such a massive difference in how you wore that tire. Edit: Z3n runs the red stripes.
