Are they Corsas or Super Corsas? Either way, you should be able to get more then just a couple days out of them. Just make sure your pressure is set correctly.

If you ask during the riders meeting in the morning Dave or Glen will tell you what to put them at.

I have the Corsas for the street and love them. They are no different than the M1's or 208's that people use on the street.

Plus they'll warm up quicker for you than your current ones.

You guys got the tyres a little mixed up. There are the Diablo and then the Diablo Corsa Tires. The Diablo tires are the equivalent to the M1's and so forth. The diablo Corsa's are alot softer, alot stickier and wear alot quicker than the Diablo's. If your riding on the street i would recommend the Diablo's. If your riding ont the track and street then diablo corsa's.

Then there are super corsa's which are even softer than the diablo corsa's.

So EZ your saying that the Corsas would not be practical for the street? I am looking for something a little more stickier considering it takes FOREVER for my tires to warm up on a warm day...forget about them warming up on a cold day with cold road.

You could go with the corsa's for the street if you want, but i really think there unnessesary unless ur doing some insane riding! Your going to get signifigantly less life out of a corsa. If that doesnt bother you then go for it, there great tires i use them for the track. btw it shouldnt take that long for any tire to warm up. after a couple miles they should be fine..

I've been using the Diablo Corsas for track and street riding for a couple of years with excellent results. I get about 6-8 track days out of a set. The Diablos or Diablo Corsas are fine for the street, especially if you want something sticky for the twisties. I wouldn't recommend the Super Corsas for the street because the rain sipes don't go all the way to the edge of the tire, so getting caught in the rain wouldn't be a lot of fun. Unless, of course, you only ride when it's sunny out! :nod:
