I just bought a pair of Pirelli Corsa IIIs sitting in the garage that need to be mounted. Where can I get them mounted cheap? ---

I have an 06 r1 Switched to 180’s in the rear. Replaced the stock Dunlops with the Supercorsa’s when I first bought it, went through 3 sets, this season I picked up the Pilot 2ct, and I think I’ll be going back to the Supercorsa’s again. ---

I never understood the point of a 180 tire on a literbike… smaller contact patch etc etc… no point in STRETCHING a tire, i mean Im sure with all the the R and D that goes into a bike they know better than the avg consumer what size tire SHOULD be on the back of a bike… lol. ---

^ simply put, turning. Sorry to say, you pulled the word “stretching” out of your be-hind. 180 tires are made for 5.5 to 6.5 Take the 180GP for example, 5.5 to 6.25. My rim is a 6. If you go to any litre bike forum, I think you will find an overwhelmingly number of people who use 180’s. 190’s are geared towards turning at much higher speeds at a greater degree. BUT, you lose the “flick-ness” of flopping the bike from one side to another. Most people prefer this, as (we) are not racing for MotoGP 🙂 ---

I still had the bridgestones on teh ninja, and the last “heavy session” i had last summer was too close for my liking. I had to pull over and catch my breathe after drifting the entire fucking bend, i dunno how i pulled out of it to be honest. F that noise, i still have too many more years of dog kicking and baby punching to do! [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-with-bike-tires/49619.md?page=1)
