Tally Whacker
Not another Mike
I'm going to be doing a track weekend- saturday clockwise, sunday counterclockwise at Streets of Willow.
I'm open to suggestions for tires that I could maybe get two full days out of (or close to it).
I run fast group, and SOW is one of my favorite tracks. For those who don't know the track, it's tight and technical, really rough and bumpy, and hard acceleration but relatively light braking because the straights are short. My bike is an S1000R, so plenty of power on tap.
I haven't tried any of the recent trackday tires- it has been a while since I've run anything other than slicks, but I want to try the supersport tire category out again.
So, suggestions? My tire seller is trying to talk me into Q4s, but tells me they won't last past a day. I've run Q2s and Q3s in the past and done OK with them but never really loved the feel.
His other suggestion is a Power 5. I used to love Michelins but it has been a few generations since I've run any Pilot Power series tires and the last time I ran 2CTs I was underwhelmed.
One possible limiter is that the rim calls for a 200, so that takes a few options off the table.
