120/70 17's PIRELLI SUPERCORSAS FOR 2006 ZX6R

[ssamt]

I am looking at a new set of Supercorsas for my 2006 ZX6R, though as they only come with a 70 profile on the front, was wondering if anyone had run these before? Handling differences etc...

They have a slightly larger rolling radius which means it will raise the front end slightly. I used 70's on my 05 636 and never bothered touching the front or rear ride heights. If you are trying to cut a lap record, I could understand it, but at the pace we road riders run even on a track day it will never worry you. It was good enough for 1'46"s around the Island and 54's at Broadford so it can't be too bad!

Mind you, if it's a track day tyre you want, i highly recommend the Bridgerock 002 race tyres and the Metzler Rennsports/Racetechs are both good too. The Super Corsa's are ok, but I find they scallop out quickly. Whereas the metzlers give the same grip with better wear, and the 002's just stick like nothing else!! (ezpecially the fronts!!!)

I'll second that, the BT002 front on my tracky gives better feedback and grip than the slick, and it's the first front tyre I've ever used completely edge to edge. Highly recommended.
