OSUYZFR1 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 On 7/12/2019 at 1:03 AM, what said: If I can get comparable grip to the Q4s out of an SC3 rear I'd be happy. Expand I don't think that will be a problem. I think the SC3 will last longer too. Only drawback is the SC3 is still a true race tire so you'll need warmers whereas the Q4 and also the Pirelli TD tires can go without warmers. I'm thinking about trying out the Pirelli TD tire on my stock wheels for coaching so i don't have to worry about warmers. Just hop on and go. Mark J ran 1:31.5 at MidO on them.

Jester_ Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I'm not sure I'd throw them quite into the street tire bucket. I ran them on my 675 and only got 2-3 days out of the rear. But they are cheaper and dont require warmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That's 2 more laps than the 3 individuals I'm thinking about had that all got caught out 1st session of a day on Q tires.

blue03636 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 To be fair, 2 were on a track that was maybe 40 degrees and the third was on a green track (rained like mad the few days before we rode). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester_ Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Another great resource is James Bock with podium motorsports. He is further away but his shipping rates seem lower than most vendors that are closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
