Pirelli Supercorsa or Bridgestone BT090

Post by Strikmabill »

I was offered a pretty good deal on both set of tyres and was wondering if the 60€+ for the pirelli were worth it. I liked the bridgestone when i had them but that was on my yamaha dtr... not an everyday driver, although the summer is coming.. thanks in advance. antonio.

Ive had both and In my opinon the BT090's wore out super quick compared to the supercorsa's so that extra 60 maybe a good investment.
Both tyres are very good and im certainly not fast enough to expoilt the difference between the two but id be picking the supercorsa's.
Its a shame Maxxis dont go down to a 160 in there supersport range, i had these on a superduke and gsxr 750 and there excellent, and i paid £119 a set delivered!!! Bargin if you ask me.

I bought Avon viper supersport in 120/60-17 and 160/60-17 and can't complain. I'm not a track rider but have been out on these in Jan/Feb for fast(ish) road riding and they've not felt vague or lacked grip.

They're currently on a pair offer for £110 at M&P (so I bought some spares)

those do look good but i have the feeling they either don't ship outside the uk or the postage would just be way too expensive
