Gotta clean up the garage so...

Okay, first set:

Pirelli Supercorsa Slicks 120/70 & 160/60 - I've put in about 8-10 heat cycles on them, still a whole bunch of meat, not blue-ing. Depending on your riding, I'd say another 2-3 trackdays on these guys. Profile is neutral, just like the regular Supercorsas. In fact, these are pretty much Supercorsas without tread -- same construction, same compound. No tire boogers, no blue-ing. Just dirty - dirty will come right off just riding it around. $75

Michelin Pilot Slick 160/63 Rear, Dunlop KR106 120/70 - Haven't run these, bought them as take-offs, but they seem to be in very good condition and lots of meat everywhere. Some tire boogers on the front center, but very few and sparse in my opinion. Don't know how many heat cycles, but no blue-ing. $75

Pirelli Diablo Corsa 120/70 - A lot of life left everywhere, I'd say another 2-3k miles left on the tire. Big chicken strips on the edges. $50

Pirelli Diablo 120/70 and 160/60 - Came off of a Supermoto, has 50 miles on them. Some blue-ing, but almost no tire wear. $150.

I used to install motorcycle tires at a m/c shop, so I have a decent idea of how long the tires will last. I'm in San Diego, but if you want tires shipped inside CA, it'll cost ya $15 for a set. If you want better pics, just request it and I'll send it to ya. Likewise, you can come over my place and check em out. Thanks!

You say there is "Some blue-ing" on one of the Pirelli's, and "no blue-ing" on a Michelin tire. What is "blue-ing"?? Is it bad or good, why does it matter? I'd be interested in the Diablo's.. ..Thanks Jeff.

Bluing happens when a tire heats up to a good tempature and the oils in the tire head for the surface(This is how they are designed to operate). When the tire gets cold, the oil"blues" the tire(kinda like oil on water). Its not a bad thing necessarily, just the tires way of saying, "i heat cycled". I store my tires in my garage which is heated and my tires do not blue. Blueing does not affect the tires performance... As opposed to the amount of heat cycles will affect performance.
