Default Anyone run 003s?

How do they handle? How do they compare to the 211s or Supercorsas?

Sorry bro, I've run the 002s and have been told that the 003s are about the same but for mileage.

On which bike?

I ran 211's on my 675 for most of last year and loved them.

I haven't run the 003's yet but will try them next time out. A few guys I know run them and swear they are as good or better then the Dunlops or Pirelli's.

Last weekend, I ran a set of the B-stone slicks and liked them well enough to go back and try the 003's.

Like the 211's they seem to give good feedback from the front. The rear felt a bit vague but they slid predictably, not the all or nothing I got on Michelin's.

I haven't ridden the Supercorsa's except for the OEM tires.

Sorry it is not a direct comparo, but based on the slicks and the prices of the B-stones, I think they are certainly worth a try.

675...I run supermoto specific tires on the Husky

Thanks for the review. How do they last compared to other dot race tires? I ride on the street as well.

I ran my girls 750 with 003s at the track, and compared to my 002s on the 1000....

They stick a tad better, however I use alot more of the 1000s power, so I got a little more "slide" or slipping on the 002s. But I prefer the 002s because of the good deal I can get on them VS 003s.(thanks to a Tigger link posted months ago)

*edit - not sure if you're refering to the compound race 003s or the RacingStreets, both cases I rode the RS's.

Yea that's what shortened my post too... Since this is in the track section, I'm ASSuming that he's looking for track tires and I was wasting my time and his...

Oh and I love the 002s, they slip but it's predictable and "natural" if that makes sense?

Actually it is.

When I started losing it with the pilot powers, they give way some, then ALOT, then come right back sort of unsettling the bike.

Now I can feel it slip, I can actually roll on the throttle to let them go more, or slack back to get more grip. I thought they were just getting hot and greasy at first, but I noticed that even near the limits of these tires(or rather my limits on them), they're quite controllable.
