i run my dunlop race takeoffs on the street....never had a problem really. but i also typically ride like a sally, or ride 2 up.
they're a bit cheaper (free, basically) than buying new street tires. haha

As explained to me by Pirelli... the Corsa III's are the way to go if you ride mainly street, with a few trackdays.
The Dragon Supercorsa Pro is for hardcore street riding and trackdays.
The Diablo Supercorsa is really for racing, but it is street legal.
I think most people on here using Pirellis should go with the Corsa III's or the Dragon Supercorsa's. The Diablos are overkill, in my opinion.
Buy PIRELLI Tires!
Little bit of column A, little bit of column B. :P and a little bit of column C, too... I've found that I'm simply pretty easy on tires. :dunno:
I had a set of Supercorsas installed on my ZX when we were at VIR, spring of '06. I got about 5k miles out of em, including a bunch of track days that year & the following year, but not many street miles... The rear finally let go fall of '07 after roughly 6-7k miles of abuse. There wasn't much tread left, but they held well.
The tires on my race bike (Also Supercorsa Pro's) are the same tires I had on there when I bought the bike in 2006 & they already had about a seasons worth of racing on em from the previous owner (Runing 1:35-1:40's). I've been doing 1:25's - 1:30's on them since. Granted the rear is like a triangle now... pretty flat where I get on the gas, but they still hold great. (as long as I don't clip the curb by the beach :mope: )
I've now got a set of Supercorsa's on the Tuono... race take-off's that I got from Saxman. I've put 3 track days on them (one rain day) and about 2k street miles so far... but I can tell you right now these (at least the rear) won't last as long as the others :naughty
Oh and I hardly ever use tire warmers except for when I'm racing.
