theese are the condition of the tires on the r6 i just bought , they are pirelli dragon supercorsa pro's . they seemed to be heat cycled pretty bad so i was wanting opinions on if should replace theese imediatly

 

Why do you think they've been heat cycle pretty bad?


They look perfectly fine... just remember that they will take longer to come up to heat then your average street tire.

Maybe he doesnt know you can lean the bike over that far?

 

i dont track bikes(would like to one day) , im a pretty conservative rider(i have a family so i dont push it on the street) , so i was unsure , a friend advised me to replace them , but i do thank you for your help

 

Like I said I'd just be careful with letting them warm up before you drop it into a turn quickly (not even pushing it). They'll heat up quickly on a warm day but not as fast as your typical street tire - Pilot Power, DCIII, 2ct, etc etc... Be careful in any rain too.

And PB was all up on Triumph's nuts in this month's issue for the 675 vs. Japanese 600's. Never mind that all the 600's are on pure road tires. Every other magazine has figured out how to use control tires, and PB does it for their 'Ring testing.

Apples to Grapefruits, unless its a british mag writing about a british bike.

 

Sigh, Magazine racers and their opinions.

i'll be out riding, enjoy your picture books.

i still think the 675 is leaps and bounds better than any of the 600's in class. 1 rear shock away from being perfect...

 

yea but the picture books say the 600rr is teh best

I don't

 

You will be fine. I bought my first bike with the EXACT same tires and they looked almost identical to those except mine were worn out in the middle slightly more.

I have since ridden over 2300 miles on them in a little over a month and I haven't had any instances and I'm brand new to bikes. Despite my better judgement I rode in some pretty heavy rain one time too and I made it through it but I wouldn't recommend it.

I made a similiar thread.

And odds are if it's your first bike you won't be leaning the bike enough to get to where those tires are worn anyway. I know I haven't yet. I'm getting closer though.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You don't have to think that way, but it's ok, not everyone is perfect.

these new 600s are built so well it comes down to the rider anyway

 

I am getting some Corsa III's for the Honda. Street intended tires are always a better bet to a rider who is all but fair weather FYI.

The supers still look good to me. But as said before take an easy to warm them up and WATCH for ANY loose gravel and if your caught in a downpour I pray you had some large amounts seat time learning the bike and tire.
