Going to use these tyres this year:
- trackdays & practice (~30 days)= Dunlop Q3+ - 110/70-17 & 150/60-17 on 17x3.0/4.5" wheels
- class & lessons (~10 days) = some of following Pirelli Diablo Superbike SC1/SC1 or SC1/SC2 - 110/70-17 & 140/70-17 on 17x3.0/4.0" wheels
Bridgestone R11 - 110/70-17 & 140/70-17 on 17x3.0/4.0" wheels
Dunlop KR448/451 0129/0129 or 0129/0455 - 110/70-17 & 140/70-17 on 17x3.0/4.0" wheels
Bridgestone V02 soft/soft or soft/med - 90/580R17 & 120/600R17 on 17x2.75/3.5" wheels
Dunlop Moto3 soft/soft - 90/80-17 & 115/70-17 on 17x2.75/3.5" wheels
I'm planning on getting better at controlling tyre slides at limit. Then I'll be able to progress to fastest racing-slick tyres. Too bad Sava/Mitas stop production of their slicks... |
Love this! I'm sure you will find that focussing on training and getting proper coaching will help tremendously with your racing goals. I did the same thing back in 2004-2005 when I first became a riding coach with CSS, I took some time off racing to work on my skills and to become trained up as a 3 star certified riding coach and when I went back to racing (my first time ever racing a 600cc (previously raced an SV650) I was soooo much better and faster than I had been before. Plus, my crashes were significantly reduced because I actually had a handle on what proper skill and technique looked like and how to handle certain situations.
Hope to see you at one of the CSS or code RACE events this year! Enjoy
