Tyres?

6doublefive321 · 05-26-2008, 03:47 PM

So who here has tried the Stradas? I just fried my Scorpion Sync @ ~ 3400 miles. Stradas are "supposed" to be be the best of both worlds. Any opinions?

I will let you know at a later date. Those are my next choice for tires.

Friend has them on his 96 YZF600. Over 6000 miles, a lot of superslab commuting, a little squaring, but not terrible.
He run's 'em edge to edge on fun weekends too, just not a track tire.

As a comparo, his strada's after 6000 miles look similar to my corsa III's after 2000 miles.

There will be absolutely NO track time on my bike. Agressive riding on back roads, yes. Track days, no. From what I have read, the Stradas should do me well.

I have the Strada's on my bike... the only comparison I can give you is to the Dunslop 208's I had stock... and they're night and day diffrence... but i don't know how much that's saying for the Strada's... as the Dunslops inspired fear... those things SUCK

I do like the Strada's so far... but honestly I've got less than 500 miles on them. I can give ya a better review after september though

my tires are coming tomorrow, cant wait to step up from the dunlops i have on right now. I'm not really unhappy with the way the dunlops handle, they havent slipped on me or anything, but they just have a terrible fall in and really make you fight to lean hard.

i've still got 3-4k left on my rear and more on the front. i'll keep em, maybe sell em off to someone in need.

I'm close to 5K on my PP's and the front is almost shot as well.

Are the Dunlop Qualifiers any good? There is a local shop here going out of business that is selling them real cheap.

Hey,who's going out of business? Anyway,I liked the Dunlops better than the Bridgestones but not as much as the Pirellis. Grip is adaquate,very stable but a bit sluggish on initial turn in,quick warm-up. Alot of people don't like them but I felt they did a good job.

They are not very good. They constantly felt slick to me and I could step the rear out with out much trouble at all. Wear was subpar as well.
