Oh, I forgot to mention that www.MarkTennMotorsports.com has some cool rebates on the DOT's right now as well.
One thing that I forgot to mention was that I was told that the SC2 would "feel" a little more like the Dunlop front slick that I was coming off of than anSC1. After two fronts I have just stayed with the 2 and like the tire. Going from the Dunlop to the pirelli also solved my front end chatter problem in some heavy front tire load situations. My experience, yours may differ.
Braking stability. The Pirelli carcass is softer than others. Some people will run an SC2 (that’s what Eddie does too), some people will run an SC1 with a little higher pressure (that’s what I do).

My comment was a backhanded dig at Dunlop, because they are so bad about making comments such as that. They like to release headlines saying "_______ was able to fight his way from 10th to first thanks to the superior grip of his Dunlops" or "Dunlop tires allow ______ to pull off a double win at..." so on and so forth. They make those comments, as if everyone is on different tires, and someone was able to do better thanks to his Dunlops. They totally leave out the part about how everyone HAS to run Dunlops. Which means while someone was able to win on his Dunlops, there could also be a headline that says "______ was already lapped by the leaders before 3/4 race distance, while trying to use Dunlops".
Guess I was confused about the superbike pro trackday slicks, seems kinda odd to go from a dot to a slick with less grip not more. Glad they no longer are available.
