Well I ordered a takeoff from Erik Buell Racing for $75 only to find out the last one had just been sold. I appreciate the fact that they called me to let me know what had happened. I bought my rear from JC Motors about 1,500 miles ago for $168 shipped. They offer the front for about $120 shipped. Anybody aware of a better deal out there?

Corsa III front for $104, free shipping


Personally, I updated to the new Corsa Rossa, then have a set of Dunlop SP's to try after that

If possible get the Corsa Rossa like Sprintst said, the Corsa III is obsolete now, the Rossa replaces it and everything I've read claims its a better tire all around.

Sprint: Thanks for the lead on the Corsa III's, I am going to look into the Rosso's also. If we ever get a face to face the rounds are on me.

I would avoid the Corsa III, also since it's obsolete I would wonder about the manufacture date. I have heard tires have a shelf life of two years.

"also since it's obsolete I would wonder about the manufacture date. I have heard tires have a shelf life of two years."
I've heard similar things in the past.
I had come across a really cheap K2 Metzler tire (80 new for a rear) and someoen pointed out to me that it was an obsolete tire, may be at or near the end of its 'life'
Savign a few dollars is not worth the risk of injury.
