tire recommendation

[ilocanor1]

i'm currently using set of pirelli DSC sc2. Love the feel n grip of the tires but after one trackday i already noticed crack on the sidewall . this is my 2nd set of pirellis and same problem i encountered from my 1st set. Jon warned me but it was too late, already purchased the tires. but now, i'm looking for a street/track/affordable tires i can easily switch to after this set. any recommendation

[JoMaR]

Q2's or BT002's. I heard that they were good. I havent used them but recommended by may of the the guys. they also said bt016 are tested proven at palomar and a couple of track days. Not that expensive either.

[ilocanor1]

i'd read good reviews on Q2. i'm also looking at bt003rs.

BT003, Q2, i really like the new michelin 2ct PURE

[ilocanor1]

might get the BT003 next after my set. sana wala ng heat cycle problem.

Q2's and BT-003RS should suffice for Street or Track Use.

California Superbike School Instructors Swears by Dunlop Q2's and I've heard quite a bit of good reviews and testimonials about the BT-003RS from Racers and A-group Trackday riders.

I personally havent experienced the Q2's just yet. I had a brief stint with the BT-003RS tires and I liked them. Just remember to run the front at a lower tire pressure than the rear. Its backwards from the Dunlops and Michelins I currently use where the front tires run a higher pressure over the rear tires.

Overall, I dont think that you can go wrong with either Dunlop Q2 or Bridestone BR-003RS. It just comes down to personal choice and how much money you have to spend. ;D

CAUTION !!!!!! CAUTION!!!!!

AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING [/font]I FOUND THAT
THE BT-003 RS TIRES DO NOT DO WELL IN THE DIRT !!!!
I FOUND OUT AFTER TESTING THEM OUT FOR TRACTION AND DURABILITY THAT THIS IS A GOOD TIRE FOR YOUR AVERAGE TRACK RIDER AND EVERDAY STREET USE BUT BEWARE THESE TIRES DO NOT HAVE ANY TRACTION ON THE DIRT

PROS:
GOOD TRACKDAY TIRE
OPERATE WELL AT A WIDE RANGE OF TEMP.
SMOOTH LEAN ANGLE GRIP WITH LITTLE TO NO SLIPING

CONS:
FOR STREET USE ONLY ( NO DIRT)


A GOOD TIRE FOR DIRT WOULD BE THE BFG ALL-TERAIN 33" TIRES HAVE GOOD STREET WERE AND GOOD TRACTION ON AND OFF ROAD =)

i know for sure the Dunlop 211's work well in mud ;D
tested and proven at buttonwillow haha

[JoMaR]

Matt, why are you YELLING!?. your caps button is stuck. ;D

[ilocanor1]

thanks for the good info.. i'll try out the bt003rs 1st coz its cheaper and if i don't fall inlove w/ bridgestone i'll probably switch to dunlop Q2 next.

MAYO: did u make that mud mess on the track after the sweeper?

Before Julez started using Slicks, he used BT-003RS.
Have you seen the lean angles he was getting with those tires?
Oh they work just fine. And for $250/set, you cant go wrong.

Mud Mess? I made the mess going to the front straight ;D

[Jon "bustanut"]

you made the mess all over the track hahaaa

julez aka elbowz used to use bt002's way before the 003 came out.
