Tires for track use

[YesEvil]

That's great! What tire pressures are people running?

28f/28r set cold

Gracias! ...so, owner's manual is 29/29 IIRC, Motorcyclist ran 30/30 and you're recommending 28/28. Sounds like there's a pretty solid consensus between 28-30 psi. Nice.

Interestingly, almost none of the tires we've been discussing here. Those Bridgestones can be found at closeout prices right now.

Has anyone heard of or used SAVA MC50 soft race tires? Can you please provide your feedback on these tires?

Does the 160 fits well ? Any issues so far ?

It's been done but the wheel is too small for even the 150, so a 160 would be a very tight squeeze.

I've got a set of 110/140 S20 EVOs sitting here. Couldn't pass them up at the price. I may put one more track day on the Rosso IIs first, but I also may succumb to the temptation to try them out!

I haven't tracked the bike yet, but would agree with psych0hans. The OE rim makes the contour of the 150 too steep. A 160 would be worse, probably slowing handling. I would also expect that the added weight would affect acceleration. Even though it'll look tiny, I'll probably look to a 140.

Just got a set of the new Bridgestone RS10's designed for this bike... exited to try them out, any experiences?

Have you had a chance to try the RS10's on the track? I am very interested in these tires.

SC's do seem to last a little longer but performance seems to be preference, though some complain about the a13 front and run a GPA-Pro up front with an a13 rear (what I currently have). I'm switching to Pirelli though just because of contingency. If you won every race and set every track record in our class, you could pull in over $1k from Pirelli. Dunlop would pay you $0.

After trying the Dunlops back-to-back with the Pirelli, no question, Pirelli grip>Dunlop.
