jwoody,

are you running those on the street? If so, I would advise changing to the Dragons. The supercorsas are an awesome tire, but aren't going to hold as many heat cycles as the dragons. Just my .02

I run the Bridgestone BT-002 RS on the street and BT-003 on the track. Great tires.

Oh, 2007 R6

Well I'm not a racer like most posting here, I just commute and mess around. But I'm very pleased with my Pirelli Diablo Strada tires. They are marketed as a high mileage tire, I have about 2700 miles on them, front looks great and the rear looks pretty good, LOTS of miles left I'm guessing I'll get 7500 on the rear. YES it is worn right down the middle, unfortunately I don't get to wear down those chicken strips on my daily commute ;-)
