Hi,
could anyone direct me to any English language tire tests, especially
concerning recent sports touring, sports and racing tires? Pirelli
Supercorsa, Dunlop GP Racer, Qualifier, that sort of stuff?
It's because I need to read up a little on my vocabulary.

Oxymoron alert!

You need to learn English a bit, that's for sure.
And what's with posting to ukrm then removing it from the FU? You
dick.

I don't know any tires that understand English, much less could pass a
test in it.

You seem to be doing OK.

Ha ha.

That's because I haven't started writing about tires yet.
I'm translating several German tire tests into English and they use
all kinds of funny words to describe what the tires do. Or don't do.
Now I could start paraphrasing clumsily and write things like
"tendency to stand up while braking in corners" to translate nice,
crisp German technical terms like "Aufstellneigung", but I would
really rather like to boost my confidence by reading up on which words
actual English motorcycle journalists actually use.
See?

Radbert
