Pirelli Supercorsa compounds

I bought my trackbike last year and it had Dragon Supercorsa pros on it. I'm looking to replace them and could have sworn I saw SC2 on the rear and SC1 on the front but now that's worn off I guess because I can't find it at all. Just curious what you guys run on here before I order a set.

We run the Diablo Supercorsa's on our endurance bike. 70 in the front and both in the SC2

These were the sizes that Moto-ST made us run and we've been very happy with them.
I'll be running Supercorsa SC1 front, SC2 rear this year - my second year on these tiers. I like them ok , but then, I also liked the Dunlop Qualifiers I had before that...

I may not be fast enough to really notice the difference. Same may be true for you!
I ran a dragon supercorsa - sc1 blue - this past weekend and man i like it much better than the new diablo sc1. It felt more responsive and not a soft or flat.

On another note, Michelin has their new Power One available in a 160 rear out and a new V front that i'm hearing some good things about. I'm pretty sure contigency pays out the same so that's moot point.
i wonder whats different about your riding style that you prefer the old tire to the new one? thats interesting.

i am 100% opposite. i went faster with the new fronts.
What pressure are you running cold/hot? The diablo SC1/SC2 combo as you mentioned has really worked well for me. Usually I start cold at 29 both front and rear. works up to 32 hot

You're fast, and i'm slow ;) The Diablo just feels heavier and more squishy/softer under hard braking. I'll try a green front next and see how that one responds. I do like the price on the dragons for sure.

I do like the Diablo rear, i put down a personal best at VIR w/ temps in the 60s - still have to drop a few seconds to catch the front runners - but i'm getting there. I can't say its all the tire, but i felt pretty confident on it. Maybe its something about the tread pattern and less sipes. I think its all psychological.
blue in front, green in da back almost always
