I'm currently running the Dragon Supercorsa Pro, they're sticky and they're consistent. I had a friend run the Dunlops and he hated them - said they didn't last long and he never felt 100% stable on them. I would say the Pirelli would be the better of the two, but if you haven't checked the Metzeler out you may want to - I'll probably run them as my next set as I've heard nothing but good things about them.

I dont know about the Pirelli's but i know a lot of people like em. 5 min is crazy, i can roll outa my garage on a 40 degree mornin and stand up my bike with my m3's, they stick all the time.
just outta curiousity how many miles are you getting out of the tire before replacing it? My last tire went over 6000 miles before I picked up a nail, and I honestly think it would've gone 2000 more.
There's lots of tires that are more expensive and if you have to replace them more often its definitely worth it to consider the DQ...

I get about 2000-2400 out of a set of tires. I do race, drag race, and do a lot of stunting though, they get a lot of abuse. I have tried a few differant tires, the Pilot's and Metzelers are about even to me, but i get a much better deal on the Metz's.

I get about 1500 miles out of my tires. I abuse them bad though.
About the qualifiers staying warm:
I do not believe this. I think they cool down way to fast. Just sitting at a light and they are already cold. I run them on my roadstar warrior because they are the only tire rated for that bike that I know of without research. Its a cruiser that has almost no lean angle. The back tire breaks out in turns when I am accelerating. It is so annoying.

I dunno ... I guess it's all about where you live too... down in Georgia I think maybe the roads stay warmer as I never have a problem with them cooling down once it gets warmed up
As far as breaking out the rear goes, I'm not gonna say that's never happened...but I figured that would happen on any tire with a 1k and enough wrist

Cant vote if there is not a "neither" bubble. I like conti attacks, but if i want to get alot of miles outta a tire ill go with the conti forces. Dont care for the pilots or metzer cause it seems like a few burnouts later the metal is showin!

I have a buddy that rides Shinkos on a lowered, stretched Busa. I told him he was crazy for having that dookie on his bike.

Dunlop is an awesome tire... go to any race school in the US and see what tires those bikes are wearing... it's the DQ
thats cause they get em for cheap. lol
I dont like dunflops, but know several ppl who do.
I voted for the Corsa III's
