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 . . .

I would suggest Bridgestone 002 street (NOT RACE) the street hold on pretty good and u get some wear out of them. But if u dont care about wear get the Supercoarser sc1 front and sc2 rear.

i have been a pilot power fan but now that i have tried out the continental range they really are so much better i use the conti road attack its a hard compound and it gets balls of rubber all over it which i could not get from my powers. so you might want to think about the conti sport attack or the conti force max if you want to get some more ks out of your tyre do give them a try they really are great tyres

I have been running Bridge 012 on the busa which i put on new for Superbike School - they drop the pressures down, 30 psi front and rear was good for Eastern Creek, stable and i still had half left to ride home on

I would put a new rear on and scrub it in on the way to PI
