Ok... I am having a hard time figuring out what kind of tires to run on my SV650 for track days. I have seen many varied post on this subject... But, I would like to nail this down once and for all.
First the size... Rear: 160/60-17 Front: 120/60-17 (can run 120/70-17 up front). The reason I specified the size is that very few manufacturers make track quality tires in my size.
I am currently running Michelin Race H2's on it. They are ok, but I wanted to see if I can't find an even nicer track day tire. I have looked at Pirelli's Diablo Corsa's but was reading that they are "race-only" and only last ONE heat cycle. Is this true?
Basically, I am looking for a tire that will:
1. NEVER be run on the street
2. Give me excellent track grip
3. Last for many heat cycles (4+ track days) (my H2's have done this)
Any suggestions or ideas would be AWESOME! Also, if you have any pointers or experience, I would greatly appriciate that as well.
Finally, if you know of any places (reputable) that I can order these from, please also include the link.
Thanks in advance,
Vaughn
