You are wrong. Those are called Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Maybe they just didn't ship those to the NA.

Again UNLESS THEY ARE NAMED SOMETHING DIFFERENT OVER THERE!!!!!!!

The "dragon supercorsa" was the name of the previous generation of tires OVER HERE at least. They can still be bought, but they are OLD.


I cant be much more clear than that........ Straight from Pirelli. Have a look around

Yes, that's their old race tire and the later model is Diablo Supercorsa. However, they still make both of those tires.
How do you explain why people have xx12 Dragon Supercorsa tires? :wait

You cant buy them here then is what I am trying to tell you. Not NEW ones that is. If you buy them anywhere here they are many many years old. They are an old tire, old technology, and have not been brought here in many many years.

And if they were still making them, wouldnt it make sense for them to be on pirellis site? They arent. Why? Because they are old.

You show me a photo of a Dragon Supercorsa with a current date stamp on it and I will believe you, but until you do, all indications are that YOU are wrong

and for this side of the pond, you are still wrong regardless.

You do know that the op is not from the USA? If you don't have something, it doesn't mean rest of the world doesn't have it.

Prove it :dunno

I have proven from Pirellis site that they dont currently sell anything other than a cruiser tire called a Dragon

I stand by that he is running an old tire. Several years old. And regardless I still bet his front pressures are wrong.

Sorry, I don't take pics of peoples tires, but I'm not blind. :lol
Also, one was asking about what pressure to use on his Dragon Supercorsas, he just bought.

Here is one racer's comment about the Dragons

Itse olen ajanut Dragon Supercorsalla kaudesta 2009. Etusen seos SC1 ja takasen SC2. Renkaiden vuosileimat on olleet 2008-2012
