Ex circuit tyre's or just regular new one's?
Hey guys,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. At the moment my bike has a Bridgestone BT021 with dot code from 2007. I'ts an old, hard tyre which ride's like ****. Therefore i want to change it but i'm doubting between the following two choices.
1. An ex circuit tyre (Pirelli supercorsa's) with enough profile to last a few thousand km's.
2. A brand new Michelin Pilot Power.
Are there any other riders here who ride an ex circuit tyre on the road?
P.s. sorry if my english sucks!

I'm talking about the supercorsa SC which will cost about €40/50
Whereas the Michelin wil cost €100/110
The kind of riding i do, im riding only for the hobby so when it rains i stay home! My driving style i would consider sporty. I'm not Valentino rossi but i can make a decent enough turn

There's nothing wrong with race-used tires so long as they aren't numerous track days old, and they aren't a strictly-race slick or similar kind of tire.
Really, the option is up to you. It's a DOT legal tire so you can ride it on the street, but it will have more race qualities (softer, different heat times, etc.). It will not last long (pre-used and soft compounds). But it will perform very nicely while carving canyons, and it's cheap. New Michelin's will last you much longer, and be good performers in lots of conditions, including canyon dancing.
So it's really on you. They both have pros and cons.

Got them at a low price, so it doesn't hurt as much if it doesn't work out.
Thx anyway!
