I've rode at Misano world circuit with SC3 in June last year and they were dangerously slippery. I suggest them as season opening or ending track days tyres because they work great with cold temperatures. I've used mostly SC2 and they adapt better with temperatures during the year than any other compound Pirelli currently offering. SCX, SC0 those are truly for qualifying laps tyres, definatly not for the average track day rat as me. 😁 Thanks for the video very informative.

Very helpful Abhi! This track game is such a minefield and really hard to navigate. Seems that the more you get into it and the more high performance you go, the more variables there are, which i guess is why the td slicks are a great option as it takes the guess work away. We probably all need a tyre man, massive budget m and about 10 sets of new tyres in the van to be sure... then its starts raining 😂. Personally mostly run dunlops which have been great and now on kr slick ms3 and moto 2 rear... were awesome in Portimao, but not sure how they'll work out on a cold march/april england track day at croft. 😬 Aaron Knox

Good video! What tire psi are you running hot and cold? Ive only run sc1 120/180 on an r6. I recently tried the sc2 and the wear was amazing. The sc1 ive always had tire wear issues. Its probably due to my tire psi. I run 2.5 bar (36psi) front and 1.5 bar rear (21.7psi) cold. A buddy racer told me those numbers are to high especially for the front tire

Brilliant Videos! I live in spain and been doing track days now for about 2 years. I currently have dunllop d212 M on the front and a pirelli SC2 on the rear of my bike. Never had an issue with the two types on my bike, however, as we get closer to summer and the temperatures rise, would it be better to run an sc1 on the front and keeping the sc2 on the rear ? And run the same tyres all year round? As temperatures here are 20 plus degrees most often. Cheers.

what you mean by heat cycles??? if i get an track used SC1 will perform worse than a SP?
@ChasingTenths
3 ай бұрын
Heat cycles means in Lehman terms; how many times the tire has gone through warmers off then on track then warmers on and also if not using warmers then; going on track then coming back in to the pits and then going back out again. So in the UK we have 6 to 7 twenty minute sessions on one trackday so thats like 7 heat cycles. If you get a Track used SuperCorsa SC1 (which is road legal too) that will be fine with a few heat cycles, but if its the SC1 Racing Slick, thats doesn't last that long anyways as its a softer compound tire and the wear dots on it will tell you the limits of the wear. You will be fine as long as the tire wear markers are ok. SC1 gives much more grip than SP. But SC1 does like to be used with warmers, SP warms up pretty quick on track within a lap without warmers. Please feel free to ask any further questions, I hope I haven't confused you
