I've ran BT003's. I like em'.

[Chas4RR]

What's the dif between BT002 and BT003? And what about SuperCorsa vs. C3's? And should I just run med compound, since I've never run a tire that has compound choices?

I believe SuperCorsa's have dual compounds and Corsa's are just regular tires. I use either soft front/medium rear or med/med, Metzler RaceTech DOT race tires (which are about the same as Pirelli SuperCorsa's). But my pace isn't really up to par compare to other guys on here... :scooter

BT002 is the 07' version. BT003 is the 08' version. Didn't try the BT002, but I'm told the BT003's are better.

They do have different compounds, usually you run the softer compound in the cooler temps. I ran a soft front, medium rear w/ mid 70 temps in Pahurmp and in 100+ temps at Buttonwillow.

Front felt fine, although I would recommend using a medium for safe measure.

Dunlop's


Someone has to be the spokesman for the best US race tire brand. :wiggle

Then how come they're not in WSBK or MotoGP?

Ive been running the same dunslpoz that came with my bike - 2 sets now. I know the Qualifier is not really a track tire, so don't know how good the good ones are - which model Dunlop would I need to keep up with Dave?

[Asian Dave]

If you wanna keep up w/ Cracker, you'll need the 211's. If you wanna keep up w/ me, I'll need to get the 211's.

I'm just giving Cracker a hard time. He knows I <3 him.

You could use the Qualifer on the track. Unless you're running a super fast pace, it'll be fine. I rode the OEM Qualifer's on the 08' R6's and they were fine.

Unless you are under 2 minutes or have your suspension set up for a specific brand, get whatever is cheapest.
