Plenty of people run the Supercorsa...but I believe that a very well known Michelin dealer had a falling out with Pirelli...so they aren't getting as much exposure in drag racing circles now...
Nobody is forcing you to run a shitty old Pirelli, Dusty! 
Us poor redneck racers down here in south ga can afford a pirelli. Yall hear how poor I am, I am putting a power race on next week and that's just because I got it at a deal!
I'll run whatever I can get my hands on, beggers can't be choosers!!

This is a street bike, will it work for daily riding? I don't care for corners, just ride on the street every day.

if you ride on the street everyday, save yourself some money and buy a spare wheel to keep a slick on. you can run a normal tire on the street and a slick will last a long time with only drag strip use.

You're asking for something that doesn't quite exist with the current technology. For low traction, you need a soft tire. Soft tires aren't as good for slabbing cause they wear out quickly. You can run a race dot tire (power one, 003, etc), but it's life will be quite short. I guess that's the price you pay with big power! I agree with the other guys...... Buy two rims.

I run the supercorsa on my turbo 1150 streetbike. I get them used for $50 dollars from the guys that road race where I work. The sides are worn down but the center is great. I run the 180. more MPH.

intimida2or, if you want it I have a Pirelli dragon slick here in san diego that still has a lot of life left in it. All I ask is that you come down here and do some 1/8th mile racing on saturday the 14th.

Track conditions at RMR or poor at best. Is there a tire that is DOT legal. 26,000+ miles on Muzzy stage1. Will not venture out of street full legal. Ride it in and ride home, no trailer. best time so far is only 9.45 @ 150.6. This is very poor performance. Just can't hook.

power race should do the job, but none of the DOT tires that hook are going to last anytime at all... still best to have a spare wheel. I've seen a 240 hp busa at 69" hook with a mickey thompson MCR2, but they don't seem to last very long at all even on the dragstrip

You have not been to the drag strip in over a year now, tell these guys the truth. 
Tell them who's red CBR1100XX beat a blue ZX-14 two weeks ago at Irwindale in one of two races. Yes, he beat me the 2nd time but, I had 1st blood.
BTW, I run PP2ct with 32.5psi at all times.

Thanks but, I have had my ass handed to me by two white ZX-14s @ Irwindale. I am too familiar with the tail section of a ZX-14 as it gets smaller and smaller.
I got lucky when I beat that guy, I know that.
But, I have a winning time slip.

i'm just messing around with you man. I'm all for anybody who wants to take it to the track. You guys should come down to barona on the 14th. It's a bit of a drive from LA, but All of the guys that race bikes out there are actually friends and are really willing to help each other. There are also some really good twisties between there and here. One of these days I want to take my 14 up to Idale, but i don't have a truck so i have to ride it everywhere that i go lol.

Lee was telling me about Barona last night on the Nextel but, San Diego is just about 100 miles too far for me.
I would race you even if I am gonna lose just to try and get a better reaction time.
Lee, even though he has not been in a long time has whooped me every time with both of his ZX-14s.
