Tyres ?

[Ward P]

I'm heading down to PI next week for a cornering school next week, and my rear tyre's about 80% shagged. Fronts still in good nick.

So I'm after some advice.

would you

1. buy a new std rear tyre and ride 400kms down for the track day?

2. buy a new tyre whilst travelling thru Melb.

3. or get one at the track on the morning.(I assume they sell and fit tyres?) or maybe get something a little more sticky.

Also front is a Pilot power - any good???
what will match up to this, or just rely on the fitter for advice.
current rear is a BT020.

All comments welcome . . .
