What kind of tires you running?

If you're a really aggressive canyon carver / kneedragger then any of the dual-compound street tires are a good compromise between mileage and performance (DCIII, 2CT, BT016, etc.). I personally like the DCIII's better than the michelins. I'll admit I've never ridden the bridgestones.

If you ride any less aggressively then that, don't waste your money... get sport touring / harder compound stuff.

Some people like the peace of mind of having a stickier tire... but I am of the opinion that it's a waste of cash... 0.001% of people on the street are approaching their tire's abilities... It's all the rider.

Hey dumbass, he asked what tires you are using. Fail.

Notice I mentioned that I like the DCIII's... those are what I was running for street riding.

You mentioned you liked them, but never actually said thats what you were using.

Right now I have some shitty bridgestones on there, but I dont remember the model. They are kind of old and not very sticy at all. Theyre being replaced as soon as the weather breaks in the spring with pilot road 2s.

Pilot Powers for street and track.

I picked up a new set of wheels a couple weeks ago, so I'll start using race rubber at the track. I'm going to run my first couple days on Pilot Powers though so I can compare more easily, rather than trying to remember what the Pilot Powers felt like last season. Hoping for a considerable gain in traction in the high speed/heavy acceleration turns.

Try some pirelli diablo supercorsas

That's what I have.

Compound combos depend on your track and temps/conditions, ask the vendor. At my track in normal conditions most guys run a blue front and green rear.

Thanks, I'll have to try those - I run most my days with NESBA and I think they give fair prices on them.

Is that like a hard front and medium rear?

blue = supersoft
green = soft
yellow = medium

forget what the hard is.
