i got the diablo corsa III's as well, awesome tires. it won't last as long as pilot powers, but i think its a good trade off. performance over longevity. so far, this is my dilemma. i want a track only bike, but i don't have the cash to have 2 bikes, payment on my car, a trailer(and a vehicle to tow it), or what i recently found out, a cargo van, which actually has enough space to haul 2 bikes, also not to mention, no space. i either continue to street it or track it only. my latest idea is buying a written off bike from the chop shop and turn it into a track bike. it will probably cost me roughly $5000-$6000, depending on the cost of the bike. but then i get stuck with how to transport it. i recently almost bought a ysr50 to take it mini road racing. my roadblock really is transporting it to the track. everything else i can work around it.

i ran the bt012's? too lazy to run down and check, but it had tears in the mid section, and it was plugged as well. its not so much the crappy tire that let me down, but i know there are much better tires out there, i find myself stepping out the back quite often when i street. diablo corsa III's here i come!
i can't wait till next season, but if u want to get into tracking, i highly sugggest getting a dedicated track bike, and running a street on the side if u love it. i want a ducati monster, but its not cheap have 2 bikes, and plus getting a trailer to get the track bike there, tire warmers, lap timers....
thinking of just cutting out one headlight for the bike so i can still street it when i want to next season.
