just seen a kr1s on ebay and he talks about running a pirelli supercorsa on the front and a dunlop alpha on the rear.
I run alpha 10's on my kris and supercorsas on my zx6r
benefit of the supercorsa being ex race tyres which are cheap and awesome grip levels
does seem a sensible idea to run the supercorsa on the front as it will always out perform the rear, so a front end slide would be unlikely
am i missing and obvious down side, as i can only see the positives in this combo

I run dunlops on my track & road bike & it's never felt like it was going to let go even in the wet! Has anyone on here ever had one "let go" out of interest?
I supose if you can get super corsas cheap it's worth fitting them but I think i'l stick with the dunlops as they were made for these type of bikes

did come a cropper there, not nice cruising along that crater ridden/rock infested wet grass at 60-70mph knowing your gonna have to put it on its side before running out of run off. ive always had the rear break away on the kr, never the front though only on cold tyres or overhot wet tyres. mucho weight over the front on the kr. depending on your style the rear seems very light, although the seat encourages frontal biased from the rider. think any new tyre will be good enough, down to personal choice i guess.
