Track school next weekend with Frank Kinsey at Roebling Rd raceway. Installing tires today and will not have time to experiment. By recommendation, and I hope it was good advice, the front is the "street" Diablo and the rear is the Corsa. I will be using the CityX and appreciate your experiences with this tire.

My trackday experiences said to drop the pressure between 4-6 lbs from stock. Stock is 36f/38r.

Suprised they said to run the Corsa in the rear, the usual suggestion is the Corsa in the front and the standard Diablo in the rear so you get equal life from the tires. IF you run equal compound tires, you should go through 2 rears for every front, so if you run a softer compound on the front it tends to balance them out.

They should give you a recommendation at the riders meeting.

Thanks. I bet there will be some funny looks at the motard bars, but I decided not to switch to my Crossroads bars as I did not have enough time to practice with them before hand. The shop I used to loop the tires "broke" the rear Corsa and had to special order one. Hope to have a successful intall Tues. I hate this last minute stuff. Only good thing is that rear wheel removal time is 1/10th of original the second time around.
