What Tyre thread

[RemaL]

I have searched and either PH is fecked or I cannot find any older threads about tyres which I know there are many.

My bike is now coming to the end of the Supercorsa 's life and in 5k the bike has had 3 sets of front and rears. I know not trying very hard,
Had so far fitted
Bridgestone RS10's
Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3
and current Supercorsa V3.

Was looking at either Dunlop D213 GP Pro orMetzeler Racetec RR

Dry warmer weather rider, Not worried about milage but prefer feel and grip.
I'm no manufacture/maker fan so Like to try new or different tyres as I don't know what other makes are like until I try them.

So Any experience on the 2 tyres i'm looking into

I had the Metz this summer and found them good. I don't know why but I find the pirelli version nicer... I'm sure it's just in my head but they feel better on tighter stuff

Another to look at is conti race attack endurance

I will look at the Race attack.
FWR best place to buy online I gather

I bought at the NEC show the Abba Bead breaker and balancer so going to fit them myself

If you're not in a rush it's worth checking Oponeo for pricing too.

I did my last tyre change myself... with cheaper amazon bought kit... it was slightly frustrating but satisfying none the less. Only minor wheel chippage occured!

Not sure I'm confident enough to try it on my new bike!

How did you find the Supercorsa V3? They are fitted as standard to the bike I will be getting and I have read very mixed reports when you get caught in the rain or the roads are a bit cold?

To be fair I don't really commute much (I will next summer) and try and ride in the dry so I guess its not much of a big deal. This year I went on a long trip to the mountains and got caught several times in torrential rain. This was no issues with the Metzler roadtec 01 but wondering if it would be with the Supercorsa SP V3's? I generally do a few trips up each year.

Two of my riding mates say abuse them in the dry and ride like your gran in the wet! when they are finished change them to Roadpilot 5's, which they both rate highly.

Off topic a little OP but would appreciate your input, thanks.
