Decided to not hop on the bandwagon and try something new/different after reading several good reviews. Seems a lot of people liked the sportec M1's, so i figured with all the new advances the M3 incorporated i would give them a shot. They aren't too expensive to boot, and look sexAy.

The bitch they'll go on.


The absolute crap Dunlop D208's I got the bike with. DIE SHITTY TIRESSSS!!



Mmmm...shiny new M3 rubber..Thanks UPS men. (two UPS guys delivered them too me...a first.)





Running elephant >Fat Michelin Man



They should be a million times better than what I have now. Ill 'review' them when I get them installed and worn in a bit since no one seems to own these on the board from what I can tell.

Good for you...

I'm only opening the boot shot if its you

 

I have heard from several people that the Sportec M1's are the same compound as the Pirelli Diablos.

 

No postwhoring! Go ride and give us feedback!!!

As for the booty shot.... I'M BLIND!!!!

 

In before the booty shot disappeared!

I'm not to sure about that, could be true... Dunlop/Pirelli... but there are several different compounds of Diablos... Corsa's, Super Corsa's, S compounds etc

I believe it was Super Corsas. Ask around something about Pirelli buying Metzler. I tend to intentionally forget all the corporate mumbo jumbo. I just ride em.

BTW, good choice, ditching the greaseball D208's.

Whoa how did I not see that the first time?!

 

Not too long ago 208's were one of the best street tires around. I still think they're relatively good. They give better feedback than the pilot powers.
Im always willing to try new tires if they get decent reviews, maybe ill try the m3's after I kill these pilot powers.

I'm not going to argue that.

 

The m1's are the same as the diablo corsas and the rennsports were the same as the supercorsas.

 

make sure to do a burnout or two with the old **** ones

There it is! Thank you.

Any idea how that works out?

 

Well, learn something new everyday

 

One word, NICE! and the tires are alright too.

 

yea... my michelin man was worn off the tire after a week of riding...

that &gt; any elephant

 

i hear the m3's are OUTSTANDING tires.

i just love the powers for over all. but im sure they all are pretty much on the same level

The bike steered like a cow, flopped unpredictably into corners and felt very top heavy. When I switched to the 150 radials, I almost drove off the inside of the track because it turned so easily. Race rubber is available from Dunlop (D-207GP and D-208GP), Michelin (Pilot), Metzler (Rennsport), and Pirelli (Dragon Supercorsa) in sizes 110-70-17 and 150-60-17. The Supercorsa and Rennsport are the exact same tire with different tread patterns. This makes sense since Pirelli and Metzler are the same company. </TD></TR></TABLE>

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Well-informed readers know that Pirelli and Metzeler joined forces a few years ago, a union that created a crowded tire lineup for the duo. The Diablo has the same mission as Metzeler's Sportec M-1, but Pirelli was careful not to divulge the differences between it and the Diablo. Pirelli, naturally, said its tire is better than the successful Sportec in certain areas but wouldn't specify which. </TD></TR></TABLE>
