VA Rider, you are an animal!! Enough Said. Those pics are sick............. I still have almost an inch on each side of my tires. They are stock and I don't feel that confident on them and I have only been riding for 3 months. But nice pics. I'm at 2400 miles on my bike and about ready to get me a set of the Diablo Corsa III's that you recommended to me a while back. Let me know if there is any rejection/ changes in your prior advice as far as a tire that sticks!I could think of a few things.....
Here are the BT016's now... after ~ 350 miles or so.
So far... I'm impressed.
Today... well... there was a certain type of riding being done... that isn't appropriate to talk about on public forum. (I'll post video later) ... But... these tires handled everything I threw at them.... full lean, upper triple digit speeds... after a \"lap\" on my local \"track\" ... uhhh... yeah.. this tire was balled up into big chunks of rubber... you can see in the close-up pics that the outer tread sipes are deforming a bit... but I don't think that's any big deal... it's just rubber getting pushed around..... let me go ahead and say though.... if you're not riding at extreme levels, and don't desire to, don't get these tires.... you'll find yourself pushing it harder and harder... I was used to pushing the Corsa III's until they slipped, and then backing off a little bit... I tried that with the BT's... but... they don't slip... road temperatures were about mid-high today... not full on normal summer day, as it was a bit overcast... but I think even if the road was at higher temps, they would've stuck fine... they would have just shed rubber a little more easily... 1 HARD run would have balls of rubber forming... but take it down 10-15mph and they wore nice and smooth with out tearing the rubber too much... so, they're super soft when you're hard into them... just when you'd want them to be, but if you're not going too crazy, you can still get decent wear....
I'm sure I've forgot something.. ask questions... or I'll just get to it later.
up to 500 miles now.
You must have missed the latest pics.... so here ya go..
Ummm.... as far as the Corsa III's.... I think because of the price of the BT016's.... I'd go for a set of the 16's over the Corsa III's... right now, Cycle Gear has them cheapest... I think right around $230 shipped for the 120 and 180 set... ... it's hard to pass up...
I liked the Corsa III's... but at this point... I think I'm willing to say I like the BT016's better....
So you're sayin that I will also be needing the more expensive ones also, because I have a Gen II. And I think it has the 190 on the back.I am also a fan of the BT-16. You guys and you're cheap 180 tires! My sets are around $260 generally.
$247.98 @ Cyclegear with free shipping for the 120 - 190 set.
