No question the tire pressure was to low. Its hot tearing. I would air up to around 28 cold if not 29 and see how it goes.

 

What tear?



Where exactly is that tire tearing?

 

I was 30 rear hot off warmers and i had hot tearing. Another guy just posted up he had hot tearing at 32. I'll try next trackday at 34 hot and go from there

 

motousa did their shootout on these tires and this is the recommended psi from bridgestone they used

Front (hot – off track): 33 psi
Rear (hot – off track): 33 psi
Front (cold): 31 psi
Rear (cold): 29 psi

 

I did 2 sessions on those tires and changed them, Felt like I was on ice..Like I said before if you are anywhere above intermediate do not waste your time using these tires on the track..I run in the expert group and should have known they would not be anywhere near what I need....Dunlop GPA 212 for this person.. If you just go to the track to have fun or are still not running really fast laps they will work for you.. Run them 30psi Front and 28psi cold and you should not have any issues..

 

Started at about 30 rear, no warmers started tearing bad, upped the pressure to about 33, no better possibly worse, dropped to 25 and I started to get much better wear....

 

First off buy a quality tire gauge; I've seen some off as much as 5 psi. There's plenty of good ones out there you have to do some research.

 

Look into a longacre racing or motion pro guage. I had a accugage thats supposed to be great that everyone sells and it reads +5 lbs too high. Longacer quarantees theyre accurate to 2%

Did you check the pressure coming in from the track?

I don't see any tear here. 26-28 cold for track isn't a bad place to start. In general if you set the rear 26-28 cold and front close to 31 you should have good wear and a rise of 3-5 lbs max in hot pressure.

Here is a little guide for reading what your tires are doing.

I agree with kneedragger, there isn't actually any tearing on that tire.

 

its not tearing the rubber is just rolling up I think its just the way these tires wear. I was running 30 psi on both ends and they both looked like that. I started out running street pressures and I didn't see any appreciable difference when I changed pressures.

 

I don't see any appreciable tear. Can get on the gas soon coming out of corners. May have a slight pressure/rebound issue, but you're looking at +/- 1 to 2 psi and a click or two.

Best thing would be a good, non-oem type tire, or a DOT race tire and warmers.

 

I was about to post that the tire looks good to me but then I started seeing others have already mentioned it.

The only issues I see are the chicken strips. :kekekegay:

 

I've bought a second RS10 for the back because I don't want to mix and match tires. When the front is gone I was going to try the SuperCorsa are they any better? Local people are loving the Dunlop Q3 but it has a different profile that puts me off a bit. I'm not going slicks because I still ride on the road some.

 

The Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V2 (that is Sport Production Version 2) which is the tire all the vendors are selling is A B S O L U T E L Y F A N T A S T I C

I run them on the street, mostly in the canyons at 32 front and 28 rear. They don't last long but they are really really good. After 50 miles on a regular 2015 R1 and 76 miles on my new R1M I can tell definitively tell you the Pirellis are better than the Bridgestone, although the B-stone is pretty good just not as good.

I notice the front end RS10 doesn't track as well or provide as much feedback as the Pirelli.

Q3s don't hold a candle to either the RS10 or DSC SPs.

You won't be disappointed.

 

I have always run Pirelli Supercorsa's on all of my bikes. They are the best of the best DOT Race tire. They wear very evenly and have phenomenal grip. I have been impressed by the new Bridgstones though. They do have a lot more stick than prior battleaxes. I HATED them before. It was like riding on a brick of ice even with warmers. They really stepped up with these RS10's but I do believe they wear faster and don't provide AS much grip as a Supercorsa. If you got the $$ Get the Supercorsa's.
