So I tried Dunlop's 2014 Moto2 tyres in spain recently .....
If your a trackday junky (and go at a decent lick) and have been using Pirelli's -- dump em ! Dunlop Motosport Slicks (french machine made), better grip, last ALOT longer and corner speed ... mind bending. No drop off in laptimes either. Alot more £ but I used one rear in 4 days at Almeria ! (versus 1 or 2 Pirelli's a day!) Also went quicker on them on a 600 than I managed on the HP4 on Pirelli's.
How much are a set? I though supercorsa were expensive!!
My next set I was gonna swap to Bridgestone mostly cos of the price Pirelli. Metzeler seem to drop off very quickly, I was only getting half a day before they were starting to get a bit twitchy

I'm thinking more expensive for me vs. Pirelli (which means they'll not be massively more expensive to you as I guess you pay retail or close for the Pirelli/Metz stuff)
£340 a pair of the Dunlops. I'm thinking 3 compound front and rear for the UK.

I'll give them a go as I need some new track tyres
I realy want to try these but can't justify the cost as I have to run Metzlers to race this year.
I heard on the radio yesterday that Pirelli had been bought by "Chem China"?
So is this the kr106 kr108?

I'm pretty sure I read MC say "and go at a decent lick" which means you have to be fast enough to keep the temperature in them. Best you look elsewhere ;-)

Yes :-)
So they are a 125 front and 185 rear, did they go on stock r6 rims designed for 120 and 180 tyres?
Anyone fitted anything other than 120/180 to a b1?
