What tyres for track

Post by lloydspencer » Wed Jul 06, 2011 1:45 pm

Hey guys,

Just come back from snetteton which was brilliant

My Avon vipers that the bike had on it when I got it took a battering.

In need of some good tyres

Off to brands in august

Need something that is going to stick in the dry

Also does anyone have any good option for if it I raining?

Cheaper the better but I know quality costs.

Yoursugestions abd links please

I've always used 090s and in nearly 10 years of trackdays they have never let me down including knee down in the wet...
Oh apart from once but that was more of a running out of lean issue ;)

SuperCorsas are great IF you can warm them.
I tend to use 090's as they are good in the wet or dry.
If you are destroying Venoms, I'd guess you have the wrong pressure in them or your suspension is shot.
I expect to get over 2000 niles in fast on 090's and similar on Super Corsas though on colder trackdays, I wont be so confident

Tuff question , it comes down to the track surface and the temp of the day . If you want a good all rounder then
try the Dunlop GPRa12s . Mind you , im contracted to use emm so thats unfair lol.
