Good plan, you've always been a resourceful guy. I admire that.

My Corsa III's stuck amazingly well. If they only would have better wear characteristics.

I'm still on my first set. 3,000+ miles and counting.

Yeah, I got 3K out of my first rear. It was ok yet, but I wanted a new one for my track day. I got 3300 miles on that after the track day, and total 6300 on the front.
With the price of them, I can't justify them for the riding I do. I will get over twice the wear out of a set of Powers for less money. I can deal with a little less grip.

I'll probably go back to Michelin when these are done. Road 2's or Pilot Power. Always loved the PP's.

Yeah, I have about 4500 miles on the PP's so far, and still over 50% on the rear.

If you are spinning the rear tire, that does not count. The front or rear must slide sideways.

If I leave my house on both the Pirellis Diablos and The BT-016s at the same time and apply the exact same amount of throttle at the same time, the BT-016s WILL spin up and out sooner. They will also take longer to come up to temp. Now the BT-002RSs on the other hand...

I've ran many sets of Diablos and then the 1 time on the 016s. The Diablo is a harder tire by a good margin.

Just fuckin wit ya.....I lived in MI for 7 years and I remember D220s doing the exact same thing. Did a 180 once when I wasn't even on the gas. When it's cold tires just don't stick.

Oh yeah, no big deal. My observation though is that PP's heat up much quicker. That's all I'm saying. In So Cal you don't need to worry about that. I miss L.A... fuck!
