Actually D211 slicks are the road tyre but just without any tread moulded into them. The reason I use them is that they last longer than the treaded version! I go through them at a rate of one front to two rears.

Question about buying wheels, Do they have to be off my year and model?

Re: Best Track Day Tyre
 

They need to fit your year and model, but these things are often more generic than you'd think.

The easy way to check is to look up the part numbers for your front & rear wheels and see what other Yamahas use the same parts code. You should definitely be looking at several years of the R6, but you may find one or the other wheel appears on something else too. The curvy rear wheel for instance is I think the same as the pointy rear wheel, but the spacers and bearings are different. So they're not quite plug & play, but can be adapted to fit without modification of the wheel itself.

Check brake rotors too. Sometimes you can swap your rotors onto a different years wheel, sometimes not, and if the diameter or spacing are different, you get into moving your calipers around on the forks.
Yamaha used to be very good at using the same parts on different models, sometimes for many years, but it's been a long time since I swapped Yamaha parts around, so I don't know it they still do that.

Well the tyres im going for are the Pirelli Supercorsas SC i think!

Re: Best Track Day Tyre
 

There is a pair of super corsa s on the 675 forums , fine in the dry,same size as yours.
Wet they are scary though ...(on the roads)

Re: Best Track Day Tyre
 

They will only be used in the dry tbh mate i dont think i would risk going out in the wet on my track bike!
