Power sport front/Pirelli(Metzeler) rear  :icon_thumright:

Normally do four trackdays then change them.

Yep, there are the GP racer D211's which are a fast road/track tyre that come in varying compounds, and there are the 'new' D211 GP's which are track/race only and are great. Although don't last that long but grip is really good for the GP Racer D211's and even better for the D211 GP's. Both run 27 psi Front and 19 psi Rear cold for T/D's and racing.
The Sportec M3's are shite, I'd go for the Racetecs everytime. These run 30 psi Front and 28 psi hot for T/D's and racing.

I had Sportec M3's jeff and did pembrey with them coz they were new on when i bought the bike and they were shite on the track but not too bad for the road..........i'm running Michelin Power One now and they are soft but awsome grip when they are warmed up

I thought Metzeler M3s had now been superceded by the Sportec M5s?  I've M5s on my gen 1 at present and am loving them, cant wait to get them on the track. Saying that, once these are done I'll be going for Racetecs  B-)

You are correct Cronan.......it was M5's i had and IMO they were poor on the track and it was 22+ degrees on the day......in fact i have an almost new front in the garage that will never go back on
