I've ruled out R 11 Bridgestones. Tire warmers needed for good life expectancy. Not going there. For the same reason I don't need more power. i can't count the number of times I apply full throttle. Not many.
Planning on bringing Bubbles and I to Thunderhill this year, but missing Buttonwillow on August 1st in prep for our PCH trip to moms house in Portland Oregon from Los Angeles. 14-ish days with a stop in BigSur for her B-day.
This rear tire has 300 miles on it and I'm going to give it one more chance. I will bring a spare. I also need to loose a few pounds as I'm out of preload on the front springs.
Very sticky but feedback is minimal compared to the Pirelli's. Anyway, I didn't need to use them as those amazing super Corsa V3 lasted the entire day. That's 4 full days on the rear tire and I may be able to eek out another but I won't chance it. I had slippage issues in places I've never had before. May be tires but may be I'm using more throttle as I get more comfortable on the bike.
It as very hot. Broke temp records, upwards of 108°. I rode all 8 sessions. Got home @ 7:30 and my wife made me 3 Vodka tonics. Had a great day. Bikes awesome.
