Best Pirelli Supercorsa Compounds?
What are the best Supercorsa compounds for dragracing? We have an SC-2 on Racheal's bike, and it sticks like glue. But I see some good deals around on SC-1 tires as well. Are they all suitable?
I have had good success using roadracing take-off's. At $75 or less per tire I am not overly concerned about them lasting forever...just gripping well.

The sc1 is a little softer, You can get away with running more tire pressure...
The sc0 is soft and sticky, great for a big motor bike with a long wheelbase!!!..You can use the sc0 for a stock motor bike and short wheelbase with minimal burnout @ a higher tire pressure...

Michelin Power Race PR3 tires work just as well as the Supercorsa

if you want Pirelli take offs I can usually get my hands on some, I have a guy I roadrace with that runs them on his GSXR1k......personally I run Bridgestones, think that the new 003 Stones with the stiffer carcass would be right there on par with the Pirellis, and are about 50 bucks a set cheaper....I usually get $100 for a set of take offs which are generally like new down the middle, just not on the sides...in fact I have a set of Pirelli slicks in the garage right now I think......

Based on your last sentence I would go with the SC1 then! I've run the SC2s, seem fine but the demands of a stretched 14 may eclipse the grip required for a stock arm 12.
